    My Favorite Photos From Puerto Rico

    Hi Everybody,

    Just got back from Puerto Rico and wanted to share my favorite photos from the vacation. Let me tell you that polarizers and neutral density filters are worth their weight in gold when it comes to beaches and water photography. I'll never look back lol. Enjoy!

    You didn't ask for critique, but I wondered why you chosen to leave 'Capilla del Cementerio Santa Marķa' slanting like that?

    The slope of the sea, along with the lens distortion at edges and corners, are just too much for me, I'm afraid


    I did enjoy the thread though, so 'mission accomplished'.

    Thanks, Dave. I straightened the sea and the horizon. I completely overlooked that!

    I can see you had lots of sun but many images are very, very "bright".

    It was very, very bright there indeed. I used a polarizer which helped reduce the glare on the water enough to make the colors pop out. Thanks for looking!

    These are different from your usual colorization projects and I love these series...thank you for taking us with you on your trip. Looks like a very nice place to relax. They need tourism around there seeing that the country is broke.
