4. Laughing in the Waves - does this just not say it ALL!!! Fun, friends and a HOT time playing together on a tropical vacation!! Great job capturing the waves and faces at just the right moment!!
5. Karaoke - indoor photos are always a challenge, but this one POPS with colour, motion and hilarious memories all encapsulated in one shot! It's like we can still hear them singing!!!
6. Iguana - I know how hard it is to capture critters and this photo is not only up close and personal, but get a look at the intricate details that jump out from his eyes to his scales!!
