Okay, so here's a couple of images that I took when we were leaving  Playa de los Enamorados in Cabo San Lucas. I used a tilt-shift lens (which i now love) to achieve the "blurry & miniature" look to these images. I had totally forgotten to download this set of images from the memory card so I was very pleasantly surprised when I discovered them recently!

We were looking through some of our images hoping to find some that we could enlarge, frame and hang on our walls. We know we definitely want to use one of these images to blow up HUGE! on canvas.....but we cant decide which one to use! The final canvas (or multiple canvas) will be around 70" x 35", so we want to make sure we order the the right one! Let us know which one you like the most and help us make up our minds!

Sandra Sutton:

Hi guys,
i think you should pick the first one from the top. The water looks very pretty and blue. So pick the first one.

(12.16.09)
Lizzy Hatfield:

Both pictures are beautiful. I personally like the top picture better because you can see more colors in the mountains/rocks (whatver you call it) But like I said I don't think you can go wrong.

(12.16.09)
Sandra G. Charles:

Both are Amazing! I choose the bottom. I really like ALL that is captured...the colors of the (canoes/kayaks?)that are lined up..the umbrellas, the people, The two rocks and the gap between that distinguishes this location. I really like how the water looks on the top one.

(12.16.09)
Sandra G. Charles:

... just want to add that I really like how grand those Rocks look...the people,,tiny specks! AWESOME

(12.16.09)
Nancy:

I vote for the second pic. The peaks meeting in the middle catches the eye more.

(12.16.09)
Berenice N:

so beautiful..cant wait to go back. i loove the 2nd one :)

(12.16.09)
Berenice N:

so beautiful..cant wait to go back. i loove the 2nd one :)

(12.16.09)
Jackie Silva:

I vote for the 2nd one. Love it.

(12.16.09)
Julie Jules:

I have to agree, i like the second one better

(12.16.09)
violet:

I like the first pic. the clarity of the water is very relaxing and truly takes you into vacation mode. In the second pic the water is a little more blurred and to me theres more of a rock focus

(12.16.09)
Mario Mendoza:

I would say go with the first one. You have more colors. Two set for water; the blue right up front and the green that is seen closer to the beach. The fact that you captured the green plants on the rocks makes them look redder and adds a good crisp contrast between the two. The rocks on the second picture look a little too blurry and kind of bland.

(12.17.09)
Santiago Guerra:

They are both amazing. But the first image seems more proportinal for a large cavan. So when can I have you two on the Opus?

(12.17.09)
fronie:

love the first one!!!

(12.22.09)
Leslie:

Gosh, its been a while. I don't like the second one because my eye is automatically drawn to the open space between the rocks. I feel like I'm not getting the most out of the whole scenery. Both are great, but I would go with the first one.

Here's a few I've worked on with a big smile on my face...why a big smile?.....well, take a look and I think it'll be obvious.....amazing clients, amazing colors, amazing light.....just the way we like it!!! Here's part 1 of their collage....

So, we've been on solid ground for about a week now. And I'm still dizzy.


We decided a cruise was a great way to rest, relax and have a lot of fun, so, we booked a Carnival cruise this year to explore the "Mexican Riviera". It turns out we were right, we had a great time, we slept, ate, slept, watched shows, had a drink, slept, ate, went to gym, slept some more :)


Needless to say, I gained like 5 lbs! I'll post a review of the cruise a little later, but for now I wanted to share one of the many little adventures we experienced on vacation.


Well, as we docked in Cabo San Lucas and made our way down the port/marina, we noticed these little funny-looking "wildlife huts". As we neared them and peered into the cages, we saw the most adorable sight ever. A baby tiger and a baby lion! When we realized that we could take a photo with them for a $35 donation, we wasted no time in paying the donation and getting our photo taken with them. Yes, yes, I know....it's actually pretty cruel that they have these wild animals there, in 110-degree heat, working long, long shifts just for profit....but....we just couldnt resist!


Now, reflecting back on the size of both the tiger's and lion's claws, we sure did take a risk. Although cute and cuddly, these animals are wild and could accidentally scratch either one of us and cause some serious damage! But oh well, at least we have some cool photos and video :)


Here's a pic a friend took with our camera....(I'll scan and post our "official" photo later)

That's actually the way we were told to hold the Tiger and the Lion when we sat down to take the picture.
We didn't get video but it was really amazing to be with those glorious animals :) Good times

(10.29.09)
Denise Gonzalez:

Ok, so Dina...you took modeling to a whole new level. You were not gonna let that lion take you down without a good shot! That is so cute!
