 After a wonderful trip to Dominica, we took advantage of our layover in Puerto Rico to see some sites there. This is Old San Juan. The entire city is surrounded by a very old wall with forts at two locations.

5 exposure HDR, tonemapped, resized, sharpened. This was edited a little while back so I'm not sure what else was done; probably some cloning to remove debris.

Love the vibrant colors. There's a lot of noise visible in the sky - some kind of noise reduction would have been an easy way to add to the impact.

I would have bumped this up a bit more if there wasn't so much noise in the rain clouds...it looks like quite an interesting place to visit...

Nice colour contrast, and love those light beams coming from the cloud, well composed.

The green saturation is right up to as much as it could be without going too far. Nice crop choice.
