Unavailable Light Photography

La Parguera, Puerto Rico

On a boat trip on a moonless night (to see a "bioluminescent" bay). The boat had one small light and the rest came from the buildings around the harbor.

I wanted the keep the feeling of darkness, but still have enough detail to make it interesting. Let me know what you think.

PS - I think that this is one of those photos that looks much better viewed on a standard Mac than a standard PC because of the lower gamma setting - which allows for more of the tonal subtleties to be seen.

A mi me parece una foto algo inquietante. La niña de la derecha oscura, pero con esa expresión infantil que despista y nunca sabes lo que significa... y detrás la familia, a oscuras también, pero con una sensación de relax, de vacaciones... es una foto extraña que me gusta mucho... me hace pensar, me hace imaginar... y eso, bajo mi punto de vista, es lo más importante en una foto.
