Default Mexico

Went on vacation in Mexico last week and took a ton (about 700 in 3 days) of pics, here are some of my favorites










All shots taken with a Nikon D50 with an 18-50mm f4-5.6 lens with a CP. I didn't have a tripod for any of the shots, some some might be a bit blurry/have some jaggies. I may add more pics to this thread as I get further through processing all of the ones I took.

C&C is very welcome, as always

Nice composition. What processing did you do on them? They seem a little (too?) vivid, contrasty, & sharp...

I was aiming for a very vivid/surreal look with them. The only processing I did on almost all of them was auto levels and shadow/highlight tool. I have noticed that some of them are a bit too much even for my taste, and am working on fixing that.

I like #7 a lot too, its probably my favorite shot of the trip. I shot a lot of belltowers because all of them were very different from each other and interesting to look at. I almost exclusively took pictures of churches and my girlfriend though, which I didn't even notice until I got back. Next time I'm there I will be taking pictures of everything that is NOT a church.
