I spent a week on the beach in the Dominican Republic.
There wasn't much to shoot... or I was not in the mood ...
I decided to photograph a shipwreck which has been there for 25 years.

    Hey Antonio

    I was at that same beach (resort) for two weeks at Christmas. Your right about a lack of shooting ops. I see you managed to find a time when there weren't hundreds of others at the beach though!


    Nice shots. did you enjoy the vacation?

    Thank you Ann.
    It was OK. The water was at a good temperature and so was the air.

    It did not rain, except at night when we were sleeping, so it did not bother us :D

    Just to lay back and relaxing... It's good.

    Thank you for watching.

    Cheers

    I like the colors in those last two-- they certainly look like decent shooting opportunities...

    They are more like post cards for touristic promotion ... :D

    What is not a compliment (for my own photos)... :D

    Thank you for looking and commenting.

    Thank you Seneca.

    However, I think that I could have made a better use of the flash on the 1.st set of photos ... eek7.gif

    Hello Skippy ! :D
    In fact there was many people but not at this time of the day.
    It was rather near dinner time and people prefer to go the pools.

    We had a nice time there yes with our friends.
    Look at Carlos in the pool. Doesn't he look happy ?
