Image of the Old San Juan Cemetery with the Fuerte San Felipe del Morro (El Morro Fortress) in the background...at dusk. This view is from one of the porticos around old San Juan. Area had actually been roped off for repair...but several couples seemed to ignore the ropes...so I did too!
Usual PS for levels and curves. Added little blue to the otherwise too bright spaces between the clouds, and cloned out some of the fuzzy haze around the lamps. Then used NoiseWare...found this gave better overall effect than NeatImage this time.

I generally dislike cemetary photos, but this one is exceptional. 9

El Castillo del Morro! San Juan, Puerto Rico. This place is a cool picture opportunity at night because El Morro appears to be floating in air. The sky is a little too burned for me in this picture though.

Interesting photo, the contrast of the green grass creates a good backdrop for the white tombs

This is Old San Juan, Puerto Rico isn't it? I was there a few years ago. I forget what that fort is called though. They have some elaborate tombstones there don't they? BTW, nice photo. I wish I took one as nice as this when I visited. Nice perspective.

I just looked at my old pictures (film, prints from Kmart). That's the same place. Do they still have that old building down one of the nearby sidestreets (near the entrance of the fort) with hundreds of stuffed animals on it? Good job.

Unique subject. This is interesting and draws the viewer into the many different shapes and lines throughout this picture.

Nice, realy nice. I know you can't change that, but the sky could have been a bit more interesting, looks a bit blown out also here and there.
