This is Gio, who appeared in this shot a few days ago. Gio now works in London for the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, but was born in Nassau and accompanied us during most of our shoots, on and around the island.

Update: I've toned down the saturation a little on this one since posting the original.

I bet he misses it as much as I do! Nice, simple, clean portrait.

I like it. Love the color of the water and the simplicity of the shot. my only thing is that (on my screen, Apple mac book) the shorts seem overly bright red.

Cool shot.`

Too bright red here to. Very good portrait, I like the colour of the shirt in opposite of the water.

Seems it's only me that spots the dry sense of humour in your title ....or perhaps I have got an over creative imagination! I s'pose the shot's ok...smiles.

Bahamian rhapsody in red! Nice shot. Guess you got your work done - a masterpiece I assume!

Gorgeous shot, the reds and blues complement each other perfectly. Also great positioning, and composition in general. Good job.

No too-bright-reds here.. Orange it is ladies & gentlemen!
At least on my ( although not recently ) calibrated 24"Dell .
A backside portrait...seeing the posture (shoulders!) of this guy I hope he is a gentle person...Lots of windsurfing ...?
Must be very boring having to look at the blue yonder like this...:-)
