This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

What a stunning capture Dee! You've really handled the harsh lighting situation well.

I love it as it is but, just as an exercise, would like to see a tighter crop eliminating most of the water at the bottom - leaving a panorama style framing. I'd have a go at it myself but I'm stuck on my work computer for the next 8 or so hours and it goes berserk if I try to upload images from here. :cry:

Aaahhhh. You've made a not-quite-so-old man very happy...!

Nice job Dee - now I don't know which one I like better. :? I suppose it would purely depend on where it was going to be displayed or what the end use was but the bottom line is that it's a great image to start with.

Why do my relatives have to live on the OTHER side of Canada!!! :evil:

Got me there John! (You've made up for ic crui.. :)

I DID read Dee's lead-in but something snapped in my brain.

I think you'll find though that "Puerto Vallarta" is the Salish indian term for "Bay that Looks Disturbingly Like Mexico".

:wink:

All I need is a drink with an umbrella in it, and all will be well with the world.

Great shot Dee.

In the first shot I found the waves just a tad jarring. The crop made it much easier on the eyes. Great job, and way to nail the exposure. Such a clean shot like this, you make it look easy.
