I photographed this courtyard in a bed and breakfast establishment in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Many times when I travel, I choose hotels, lodges, or b & b's for their photographic potential, and I thought this particular one offered excellent possibilities. In post-processing, I exaggerated the colors using vibrance and saturation as well as clarity. For me, the combination of intense color makes the shot. I also toned down highlights and lightened shadows in ACR because the original digital capture had too much contrast. My settings were 1/4, f/22, and 200 ISO, and I took the shot with a 16mm focal length.
