Can't beileve I made it to the 7th thematic "week" in my new blog format ! Phew, it's a lot of material accumulating now, and I have a lot of stuff to show off in near future.
Time to celebrate - I'm switching to the new 1150px wide image format, as dictated by trend set by Google+ photo community. Screens are getting bigger, and there is no reason not to post nicer, bigger photos ! Enjoy this manta ray I met while diving at Yap Island, world capital of manta rays !
Let me know how new wide pictures look for you - bad, good - and if you want to keep it this way. Cheers !
BTW forgot to mention - I recently won photo-competition hosted by Behance Network and sponsored by Blurb - http://www.behance.net/Competitions/Bring-Your-Photography-to-Life/2413364. As result I have good motivation now to work on my long overdue photo-book. Check all winning projects - they are equally stunning !
