Great job Gus. The over saturated blues are fabulous and the detail is dead on. Although, even though you are the master, I have to tell you that the 3rd awning from the left needs about 4.6 degrees CW rotation, lol. Congrats!!
What a feel Gus !!! ... and do like the perspective adds to the image About all I could wish was a seeing more of the bottom so it has a base Big Congrats on this one !!!
Wonderful color and mood, l feel like I am there. Where is this located? Agree with Al, more is better but 18MM only goes so far. Well done, love the remote setup Gus, nice planning.
I remember this shot my friend. Not just the third awning as Richard points out , but also the left building needs some ccw rotation or perspective adjustment. Great colors and lighting.
next time we go out i guess we will need a construction crew to straighten all these buildings and awnings!! i personally like making them look funky. my head is already screwed on crooked!! love those south beach blues!!!!
