Nice shot, Tom! Even when you were on the Love Boat, you had a good eye for pictures! Very good scan, nice rich colours and good composition. A very nice one from the archives!

Hello Tom,
Very much like your composition for this image. The coloring of the water is very serene and quite beautiful blue. Works great for the contrast against the surface texture and great earth tones of the fortress. Nice scan and again good job with the colors for it looks great. I could see maybe cropping some of the water for composition and that would put the garitas more in the upper part of the image and with a small amount of contrast added. Only a suggestion to maybe try.
Otherwise great shot!

Hi Tom!
good shot! I can just imagine how beautiful it was over there on the fortress overlooking the sea! I like the colours here very much, good job on it since it's a scanned photo. Your composition is good, I find those barely seen waves in the upper part just lovely!
regards,
M:)

Very nice detail from the El Morro fortress, captured in a very nice way. POV and angle of shot are very good and the colors magnificent!

Awesome! That is really beautiful. the colors and lighting are great and the composition is perfect. I am glad you started posting these. You did a much better job at giving a little history about the place too. Nice job!!
I look forward to more photos from P.R.
If I see one of a subject I took, I may end up posting it too.

Beautiful postcard from San Juan, ToM, and even if you were in the "click click" mode, you already had a good eye for composition. My only nit-picky comment is that you missed a tiny bit of the stair on the left...Rich colour, wonderful light and great POV looking down on the fortress. Well done!

First of all, thank you for getting the negative out from the dust. It definately belongs in the light for people to see and enjoy :)).. and there is so much to enjoy from this photo: the colours of the sea are beatiful, the sparkle of the waves near the rocks, and the fortress looks so charming.

WELL DONE and TFS,

Shelly.

Very simple composition with lovely colours. The beige and grey stone contrasts very well with the deep blue of the sea. I like the angle of the wall which divides the photos into two odd shapes. TFS.

Hey ToM, not bad for the only one worth posting! What stands out for me here, is how the man-made white paint touch-up has made the stonework look bad as it fades and falls off. It they'd left it natural and not tried to pretty it up, it would look a lot better.
Nice scene, good composition. Well done.
