    Great shots! I love the perspective in the last three. All of these are spot on with exposure, which I appreciate because I always have trouble balancing highlights and shadows on sunny days.

    The contemporary edge to your compositions is really pleasing, too IMO.

    Worshipper, as requested - here's a monochrome version. BTW the monument is the Alamo Cenotaph, a.k.a. "The Spirit of Sacrifice". It was completed in 1939 by the sculptor Pompeo Coppini. The cenotaph stands across a plaza from the Alamo.

    I thought San Antonio was just a market place with one old mission... guess I will have to adapt my views.
    Would you have more shots from San Antonio? I would love to see more...
    I am very much interested in the Alamo. Is it correct that there are five missions in that town?

    Photocat, yes there are five missions and a cathedral in town; all built by the Spanish in the 1700's.

    Thank you to all who posted encouraging words. I'll post more San Antonio images soon.
