For those of us who live in Florida, this is how we spot a tourist. Having fun in the water. Taken today (Sunday 2-17-08) there were more people than usual at the beach. Many in bathing suits, shorts, some without a top on (men of course) But then there were some, including myself with a sweatshirt or jacket. I had two layers on. It wasn't terribly cold in fact there was some humidity in the air. The wind is what gave a chill to the air. Once they got wet even the tourist wrapped up in something. This young guy was catching the surf with his boogy board.
This is a great image the way you've processed and cropped it. Excellent light and contrast with the human subject. Very dynamic looking too.

We can spot 'em a mile away, can't we. We're in jackets and they're stripping down to a bare minimum! :D GREAT capture - again!!!
