Just got home from vacation in Cozamel, took the little point and shoot but still managed to get some good pics. This was a dinner cruise ship that was sailing off the coast in from of our hotel. I had to run down the beach to get the right angle with the boat and sun before the sun went down.

Nice shots, and good caption. I like the second best.
... Right about now, Capt. Jack Sparrow would be seeing either a bright green flash --- or the Crocken ;)

Very pretty! I wish the 2nd one wasn't so centered.

I did a little cropping to the second image, I think it improves it. What do you think? Thanks for the C & C.

That's nice. ... I'd rotate CC about 1.5 degrees to level the horizon.

I took this pics with a somewhat cheap point and shoot and the horizon is actually concaved. I'm not sure what to do to level it...it slants down towards the middle from both ends.. LOL. I left all my good camera gear at home because I had heard stories of people getting their stuff stolen out of the hotel rooms down there. I didn't have any problem.

If have you CS3, try the Lens Correction filter under "Filter --> Distort", it will help you straighten up the wide angle distortion. Then use the Rotate Canvas option under "Image" to tilt the image about .5 degree counter clockwise, and crop out the white canvas. :)
