Pretty - like a pastel painting.

I like the muted palette but am distracted by the flagpole (it needs a flag on it or to be gone I think).

I wadn't sure initially if I liked the muted tones or not. I do.

Lovely delicate pastels for a light, airy feeling.

Comment by primabarbara:
although this picture seems to be very colorful, it seems to be washed out also. The sign in the middle is perfectly situated to give enough context. A picture you can watch for a long time and feel like a biker person just by looking at it

Yes, we have crows -- lots of them. I think they all live in a tree across the street from me. I think they were sleeping in this morning. I don't know where the pigeons were either.

I'm not trying to tell anything. This was taken early in the morning. We were getting the tail end (just clouds) of a hurricane off of the Pacific coast of Mexico. I lived in the tropics for many years and the light reminded me of mornings on the Venezuelan coast. The light can be "milky" with muted colors and almost no shadows. In this picture I may have gone overboard with Snapseed, but I am happy with the result. I shoot whatever takes my fancy; sometimes it's at night, sometimes not.

Thanks for your comment.

I like this approach to color. a muted, limited palette helps us appreciate the light

striking juxtaposition between the verticality of the tallest palm and the spire - wonder how conversion to b&w might change things
