not even close - perched on the bow of a 10-foot water taxi, waves tossing me all over the place...wide angle lens, pointed in the general direction of the Main Attraction and bursted about 6 shots.

I exposed for the sky and dodged the details back into the rocks and water, which were modestly underexposed.

I don't bracket that often either...i shoot raw exclusively, so occasionally i'll layer multiple exposures of the same file if I'm trying to preserve the integrity of it.

I'm curious if you used a tripod and bracketed exposure here? Very nice however you got it. I never bracket and I wish I did when I was in Mexico but I had no tripod. Please PM me a simple yes or no.

Nicely done. Great sharpenss and colors. I like the model's hands up near her face, too, especially with your compostion. I think your main light is a little low. The catchlights are at 7 or 8 o'clock in her eyes, instead of 10 o'clock and the nose shadow goes up her face towards the eye instead of under her nose. Other than that, I think this is spot on. 7 from me.

Nothing really jumps out at me in this shot - Although it the lighting focus, colors - everything is perfect and very professional looking. Good photo!

Wow. There are some brilliant portraits in this group. This is definitely ribbon material. Nice job. The clarity and colors are excellent.

not sure how you managed to make this feel like a candid shot of an animal but you were very successful... I'd forgotten this story until I stumbled back on this picture.. you know the great part? You two were able to touch each others spirit even if only for a moment and likely left an imprint long after your paths parted ways.

That is the beauty of life.. two legged or four we are all connected.
