The way you caught the exposure on this is excellent. Putting the palm trees into silhouette (are they oak trees really?) then that wonderfully alive green colour, and the yellow sun against blue really is visual candy. The centered compostion works to wrap us into the photograph and engages us.

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you like the image. No they really are cabbage palm trees. I noticed my mistake after I posted the image but was unable to go back and make an edit.
I know, I used to think you couldn't edit your mistakes , however, if you mouse over to your profile a drop box shows where it says MY ENTRIES, go there and to the photo. Then you can click on description and edit it. Be patient tho' because sometimes the description or title area takes a moment to get activated.
There..........clear as mud

I did in fact do a little work to clean them up, and then lightened up what I thought were rocks, but are little straw canopies. Made myself a nice little wallpaper.
Fill in flash worked and her eyes shine brilliantly at us, just as the setting sun is doing. I'm looking hard for red splotches and can't find them. I like the compositional style to this, placing her to the side and the sun balancing the image. This was not an easy photo to get so right, but you managed although the palapas in background have been clipped somewhat. (blocked up).
