Great shots Armando, I specially like the first one, the tones, the water, etc. Great.

On the second one, the building at the bottom takes off my attention a bit, maybe a crop would aid to pop put the bay in front.

My laptop went on vacation an died on her sleep, on Wednesday it did not wake up ... RIP
I got it replaced under warranty, and the hard disk was recovered :D

a few more pics ...

ship on the docks, as seen from the hall outside the hotel room

my kids were chasing a crab, it searched for refuge in the water

I like the contrast vs the sunset sky

The end of good day

How is this thing called in english ? in spanish it is "Erizo"

I had to take this in a hurry, the waves were splashing against the rocks

Erizo in english I think is a...Sea Urchin.
Armando glad you solved your laptop issues and glad you recovered the HD.

Regarding the pictures...the Ship one is awesome, that would be my favorite...second place that nice sunset with the 2 kids.

Nice shots all around.

Armando, you have some nice shots here.
I would like to move this thread to Viewfinder.
The project forum is more for 'monthly projects' that all participate in.
I just made up my mind and am moving it so more will see it.
Hope you don't mind.

Very nice, armando!!

Outstanding images Armando. I enjoyed each one and found it very hard to pick a favorite each had it's own unique qualities. for pure dramatic impact I would go with the fishermen and that great blue water and golden sunset sky. Thanks for sharing.

A golden sunset

This sculpture seems to be the "logo" of the town

A splash of water, not the best composition or most attractive photo,
but I'm thrilled at the sharpness of the focus on
the splashing water :)

"Cuale" river , runs through town into the sea, the river is divided in 2 before reaching the ocean, on the island there is market, and few restaurants (great dinning btw), this is located right in the middle of the old section of the town.
