Wow, these are all so good but the last one is my fav!!!!! These remind me of what you would see in an AD for vacation!!!!!

Thanks, yes, want to go back instantly when I see them! (.. go back to improve composition I mean

)

Only thing I could suggest is maybe moving the subject in the photos off centre a bit to get into the "rule of thirds" mode. This is sometimes just a matter of preference though, so it is really up to what you want to capture.

Really like the goal framed amigos.

Thanks, you are right for the second shot I think, I would not do it for the others.

I am not too happy with the second shot in many respects. But moving the boat off centre could create some more tension, you are right.

nice series, alex. looks beautiful down there, i think you did it justice. :thumbup:

Ah. Here we are back in Mexico then ... for two threads I have now been in Egypt with you, now it is the very different light and the very different colours of Mexico again.

The difference in light is striking when you walk through your threads the way I do now. So much blue and green in the Mexico pics while the Egypt ones sport mostly yellows and reds and browns and so on. Cool to see!

I find your subject quite centred in many of your frames, that also strikes me much ... if that is deliberate, then who am I to critisise it? But it is fairly obvious ... is it deliberate?

they look a little washed, but other then that theyre great shots. makes me want to go back to mexico to take pics. but i had a bad experiance the last time i went down to TJ.
