Looks like it's been photoshopped quite a bit.
The mangrove lagoon on the left is quite interesting.

Sometimes Photoshop can be overdone. This is one of them. Seems they forgot to alter the water color in that swamp as they did elsewhere.
Colorful though.

Good point, Dennis. I didn't notice that. That swamp must have been real shallow since the water drains out of it during each tide. And yet has deep
ocean blue color.
It looked to me as though the green and green saturation was boosted to enhance that aquamarine look and now is starting to look unnatural.

Yeah...It looks more like septic pollution than pristine waters. And what is that big P-Shop brushmark, lower right?
Like I said, it's colorful but, so is Jello.
Oh well, it's a calendar. I just hope nobody goes looking for that effect in Baja. I doubt they'll find it.

Here is another shot of Balandra from the air.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Looking for oversaturated color, just watch CSI Miami.

I have become a fan of some of the really processed photos---like some of the HDR that take on a real impressionistic look---I am beginning to see it
as a different art form, not better nor worse than the more natural photography, just different. Some of it is really wild.
But this photo just does not work for me----
Now the one BMG posted is definitely processed, but it works for me real well---I really like it.
But, as Dennis said, it is only a calendar and I wish him well in his sales.

Nice calendar stuff, for sure. Etherial, vaporized glow at the shoreline tells you a lot.
Give the shooter an A for effort. In fact, I'm gonna buy a calendar.

I may well be mistaken, but isn't Chandler the fellow who had a "gallery' in the lobby of the Costa Real (now Tesoro) hotel on the marina in Cabo?

On Charles' web site:
If you like my Baja pictures you might be interested in The 2010 Baja Calendar. It will feature 12 of my best Baja Pictures.
HMMMMM....???? Still sure about the photo being artificially enhanced?

Atificially enhanced might be a redundancy.
Anyway, do you think that cover photo is untouched? The water looks like melted plastic.
What's your opinion since you are tending to defend the integrity of the shot.

Yes, and even before digital cameras, photographers "enhanced" there photos---- it really is matter of taste as to how much enhancement one does, and
others like. It really is not artificial, it is processing. However, sometimes the results can look artificial.
Can't figure out why you thought that statement suggests that his photos are not enhanced? Don't know of any photographer who would refer to their
photos as enhanced---it is just a part of the processing.

You know, this is my thread in the Classified Ads forum informing you all about the new calendar... that Carlos Fiesta is doing the work of keeping it
alive after Marv wanted to quit making it.
Not sure the reason why anyone felt the need to bring up the quality of the sample photo, or why that became the over-riding discussion??? Maybe it is
over-enhanced to look more dramatic on the Internet?
How about thanking Carlos Fiesta for keeping the Calendar alive and ordering some for Christmas or yourselves?
Again... in the photo forum talk about the quality after you get one in your hands to see if it looks the same as it does here. But, this is news
information item about an 'ad' or link to the ad for the 2010 calendar.
Cheers!

OK...it's your thread. It presents a foto that is unreal. Don't try for a minute to tell me that foto wasn't presented as reality, which it isn't.
I don't care who your Fiesta friend is. The point he presents is, "accept this foto as the real Baja" which it isn't.
It's a beautiful fraud.
He should have admitted this at the outset, "Artist's rendition" but, it didn't happen.
The chiit in that calender is fantasy...not fact.
This issue was dead, David, till you dug it up. Now you and your Fiesta buddy can live with it.

Dennis, calm down! It was YOU who posted THIS link: http://www.charleschandlerphotography.com/galcabocorridor.ht...
and I looked in that link and learned the photos you say are no good are from THAT photographer.
Carlos Fiesta www.bajaexpo.com and many other sites, plus the solo circumnavigation of Baja in a panga is producing the calendar for us to enjoy.

I never said they were "no good." I thought I said they were unreal. I also said they're colorful and of such quality that I would buy a calendar.
I would also buy a Picasso if possible. Neither, the foto of the water nor a Picasso portrait are photographically correct.
The difference here is, Picasso would admit it. You won't and that shooter probably wouldn't either. He missed a good opportunity to do that when
he published his work.
Defend the nonsense if you must, David. Who cares? I can see illustration on brick walls. I don't have to spend good money to be deceived.
