I hope everything will be OK.

Sunny crab. :)

Great crab shot. I wonder if Mr. Crab knows he has sand on his eye. Ouch!

Very nice captured Valery. Shows a snippet of life on that plaza with various people in different activities.
I know the perspective is such but the even railing would have been a tad less distracting.

Thank you Sury!
I left the railing to show what a small square in the heart of the historic city.

Valery,
That was a nice album on Cuba. My comment was not about removing the rail but leveling it across the photo. The rail itself
is not a distraction.

I really like the last shot but would not throw any of them out.
Its just that the last shot really appeals a lot to me.

Hi Sury,

Perhaps I misunderstand your comment, but it seems to me that because the image was not taken perpendicular to the line of the rail, if the image is cropped at an angle to make the rail horizontal, the buildings and people will be tilted.

Tom,
You did understand my comment correctly Tom. I do understand it was all about perspective as I mentioned in my post.
I was just mentioning the angular perspective (which is inevitable from the angle of view) is tad distracting to me.
I had no intentions of taking anything away from the shot - the liveliness of the plaza.

Very nice. The foamy globes are a nice addition and touch.
