 This is downtown San Antonio along the Riverwalk on an early Saturday morning before the blazing sun ruined any chance of a decent photo. I hope the fact that the earliness of it -- and thus, not many people out -- don't make it too boring, but I thought the urban reflections in the water made up for there not being people milling about. Matter of fact, it was such a treat experiencing the Riverwalk in such pretty light without people there. Usually, you get nothing but intense blur of wayyyy tooooo many people milling about.

What kind of processing did you use? This looks really coooool. I love how the umbrella colors jump out of the pic without being overbearing. A very nice capture!

Such pretty light, and the reflection really adds to the shot. I like the colorful umbrellas, too!

One of these days I'll beat you in a challenge (well, probably not). :)

Terrific shot. It in a way feels like Amsterdam. Nice low angle and good usage of the frame. Cheers

Good photo Sandy. I love the River Walk and all of the activity. Maybe it's time to plan a trip to San Antonio. I'll be sure to go early...

The Riverwalk, after the revelers have gone to bed and before the early risers get there!

I would like to see a tighter crop here that focuses on the patio set and the reflection in the water.
