Taken with a Canon 5DM2 at the hotel in Cienfuegos, Cuba.
Very nice, but the white frame is too wide.

Love the muted colors and the symmetry works very well. I think your horizon may be a tad tilted. Super image.
This is still a work in progress....Thanks for the insights and suggestions.
Love the image and the matting, the horizon needs to be straightened a bit. Thanks for sharing it.
Questions--------
Did you enjoy Cuba?
How did you get there---cruise ship?
Thanks
Len
I really enjoyed Cuba! The people were great, the food was good and the Mojitos were also very good!
I went with a tour group of 24 and spent 9 days in Cuba going from Havana to Cienfuegos and back.
I would like to go again but nearly all the tours for Americans are very limited and go to the same places.
I would like to see other parts of the country and go more to the south toward Santiago.

They are located in Canada and staffed by Cubans. We travelled with them a few years ago, and felt like we got a lot more for trip for our money. They have a wonderful birding trip if you are into that sort of thing.
Another question----
Cuban govt. --is it less Commy that w/Fidel?
Thanks

We were cautioned to not talk a lot about the government or politics. Those discussions still seem to be a bit touchy!
Our guide told us that in the 10 days we were there, we would see more of the country than the average Cuban does in a lifetime! The Cuban people live in a beautiful open air prison, foreign travellers are the ones that have it good. We did not encounter any interference from their government. The people we met expressed great warmth to Americans while realizing that our governments don't get along. It is a photographer's paradise.
A couple of observations about the beautiful image. First, the horizon is tilted. Second, the matte is something personal regarding its width but too small is never acceptable.
By the way, Santiago is toward the East.
Did you happen to see any of the 100 fires the town was named for?
I just got back from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina and the fire has been out for centuries!

Sez you!
But if you haved a frame that wide, normally the image is given more bottom space than top space. It's really a matter of taste. Yes, the horizon is tilted. It's very lovely, all the same.
