Cheers y'all!

As Rob will vouch, it is simply stunning. And if all the projections of doom are correct they will only be there for another 25 years. It's not cheap and it's a bleedin long flight (10 hours going out & 12 hours coming back ) but it is seriously worth it.

Steve, invest in a polarizer filter, they screw into the end of the lens, I also always use a UV Filter which I have on the end of every lens I own, the polarizer will then screw on top of that. That will give you the depth of blues you want in the sky and will also reduce the glare on the water, without having to resort to photoshop to bolster the colours. I also used an ND4 Graduated Tint Cokin Filter on the Sunset. The only amends I have made to the pics is to straighten, crop and adjust levels, thats it.

Baz, St Lucia is lovely. We stayed at the Wyndham Morgan Bay (think it's changed it's name though) and it was spot on. We did a couple of really good trips while we were there, One was the bus ride through the island and then getting the catamaran back round the island, another was the "Sulpher Mines" which is basically an open volcano and you really should do the Chocolate tour where you visit a Cocoa Bean plantation. You will both love it.
