Blue Skies in Old San Juan

I have done this photo over and over..taken with my Dad's Olympus E-1

which I had no experience on at the time....but the skies this day were

that blue...and the Ocean was a color I'd never seen before. I'm amazed

it turned out at all....due to my 'ignorance' of a DSLR....comments

welcome and appreciated...tnks Gail

Gail: Great shot. What technique do you use in PS? Thank for your recent comment of Saint Michel. I do think the pencil line technique does make the image pop. Tom

Great location shot Gail. I'm looking at it on my netbook, which is not calibrated, but the type of sky you have here always tends to be uneven, the clouds are a bit light and the blue on the other side a bit heavy maybe.

 

It might benefit from a more even sky tone.

 

Nice shot.

 

All my best, Bill

Nice scene Gail! Looks a gorgeous place to visit. I think Bill may be right about the colors being little too cool in this one. Some beautiful pastel shades in the buildings.

All the best,

Neil

Nice view, Gail! Great shot. Cheers

Gorgeous. Congrats !

Aside from the obvious beauty of the colors, I love the perspective. It adds a great deal to the structures that are set back from the shoreline.

Great picture!

Lovely view, dear Gail. A delight of scene, colors, clouds and atmosphere. Excellent photograph! Warm regards!

Far away from home! Nice POV

for your comments and advice................apart from not knowing what I was doing when I took the shot.......this image has been a 'thorne in my side'..........The blues and sky I've worked on many times.........and will continue to do so......I'll use it as a 'learning image'................a lot to learn but more than willing.....tnks again, Gail

Very nice image, Gail. I get a feeling of nostalgia from this perspective. Beautiful composition and tonal work.

This image gives me the impression of a water colour, particularly the pastel tones of the buildings, as Liz mentions above, there is a certain nostalgic element to the whole scene, I like it!

 

Kind Regards
