Mangos and yachts in Panama

By Abby

IMG 7748 Mangos and yachts in PanamaI’m not the most technical photographer — I can’t be, with my little point-and-shoot. But I couldn’t resist this simple shot as I was waiting for the ferry from Panama City to Contadora, to relax on its nearby deserted beach islands. What says “tropical” more than mangos hanging heavy on a tree in front of turquoise water filled with boats? In the city, we had had some stormy weather, which never stopped us from boating in Costa Rica, my favorite tropical paradise, even in the rain. But on Contadora, it was sunny and hot. We had the best time baking in the sun!

    The shadow on the top left drives me nuts, but I still like the shot, so thank you so much!

    Give me a mango and put me on one of those boats, and I’d be a happy camper.

    You are getting really good with photography, don’t downplay your talent. This photo is enough to make me want to go there and that’s what it’s all about.

    That shot is absolutely spectacular, and the shadow on the left doesn’t bother me at all :)
