Main catedral in the town of Granada (named after Granada, Spain).



The family of entertainers at a restaurant our group stopped for lunch.

The whole retinue

Nice pictures, I like the church especially as it is a lot joyful looking than ones we have here. The entertainers are nice too, but since I noticed you are taking post processing tips, try to lower highlights (or exposure) for the first one. The second one is exposed spot on, but could use just a hint of raising shadows. Not saying there is anything really wrong in your pictures, I just thought I might throw some ideas if you are 'having a blast' with Lightroom (made me smile in a good way that whispers 'inspiration coming').

Thank you Toni for the suggestion. They were processed before I learned about
the local processing and I was struggling between highlights and the musicians.
I started to revisit my 3000+ shots from the Costa Rica trip to selectively apply
my newly acquired (half) knowledge.

The church is nice and very colorful. The Catholic churches in Latin America often are painted bright colors. So different than in Europe.

Interesting enough the interiors are very spartan as you can see....



Street scenes

Thank you Andy.

Thank you Mike. It was a fabulous vacation. We went during their rainy season
so crowds are few but the usable day is cut short by few hours. It would start
raining around 3pm like a clockwork.

These are beautiful clear images with perfect amount of saturation. Well done!

Thank you Pitter, for your kind words.

Sury looks like a great trip. I especially like the one of the interior of the cathedral. I wonder what a little wider angle would have looked liked.

The church was not very large. So I wonder too. Though I have been on a peripheral
search for a wider an 24mm lens for a while.
