  There is only one word which describes this image (and my first reaction).....WOW!
My second reaction after viewing the larger version was 'Beautiful' and then when I realised this was a start of a series; I thought 'Oh goodie!'
Can't wait to see the rest of these visual treats if this is any indication of what you've captured to share.
Great job John!

  WOW Phil, you have certainly gone back a long way through my gallery to find this one! Thank you for your kind comment, I apprecite it.
Queensland beaches seem to have a different character to the rest of Australia, possibly the Great Barrier Reef has something to do with it.
