 In the waters of the Bahamas, several hours before we docked in Nassau.

I took tons of pictures on our 10 night cruise, but not too many were Free Study worthy. I had some birds and some acrobats that performed on the ship that turned out nicely, but I really like this sunrise. We left from Charleston, SC and visited Key West Florida, Costa Maya (Majahual) Mexico, Belize City, Cozumel Mexico and Nassau.

Levels, Shadow/Highlight, contrast, Noise Ninja, USM, a little cloning to get rid of a couple distracting cloud remnents, slight rotation to level the ocean

Some may say it's over saturated. I would counter that it came out of the camera that way.

I like how the cruiser is almost a ghost ship. Nice diagonal line connecting it with the sun. It's hard to not make the sun so "hot" in the shot and you succeeded. 7
