First , I am a bit late this week in my critiques and replies. Sorry as I am currently on duty and out of town until Fr.iday But I will reply do not worry.

I offer you another shot taken in Cuba .

About this shot: We see here the Ranchon santa Maria, one of the three restaurants located on teh beach.

Christophus Columbus landed here in the 15th century. So I do not have to add the other two rsstaurants are named Nina and Pinta .....

For those of you , who missed the previous postings, here we are on Playa Esmeralda, one of the beaches of the Paradisus Rio de Oro resort .


Technically:
Image tilted and cropped from portrait size.
Adjusted tones, colors, levels, contrasts, luminosity

Alejandro is on duty, and can be seen on the far right. He will be there until midnight.

Why in fact is he there ? you may ask yourself. Are we in danger here ? Not all all. If I may say it this way...... It is litterally a free for all at the resort ( in a positive way of course! ). You never have too show any identification or sign any voucher. Unlike the hotels surrounding us, we have unlimited, drinks ( including Champagne , Wine and most International liquor brands ), seafood, meat, and so on ... So, you can certainly understand our hosts do not wish to have guests from other hotels entering the resort, penalizing their own guests. Believe me a lot of guests are still trying to ''visit'' the place.

Have a great day!
Robert

Hi Rob,

I guess one word just sums up this place... PARADISE!

Great POV & vivid colours. Razor sharp & well presented!
I think it's leaning a little to the right... :)

Well done

Excellent capture of a very beautiful scenery, Robert. I love the deep saturation you achieved here. The tree growing through the roof is a nice detail.
TFS.
