    Re: Puerto Vallarta

    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.

    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.
    Keep Shooting!

    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.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Thanks Frog !
    I wasn't sure where to put it

    Thanks for the comments

    a few more images

    A golden sunset
    Dorado

    Sand sculpture
    Escultura de arena

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

    Beach at the hotel
    Playa

    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
    Splash

    "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.
