All great suggestions, guys--and the big message, I guess, is take the time to get the shot right instead of snapping away tourist-style and running off to get the next shot of tequila.

Thanks for all the tips.

Well d'uhh... There's your problem right there. A real photographer would have had the Tequila with him so he didn't have to run!

Common mistake. People think those compartments in camerabags next to the cameraholder are for extra lenses or flash units. They're not. They're made to perfectly fit a can of beer...

As for the picture, good luck shooting the next one. This one is beyond saving I recon. Making mistakes is the way we learn...

in my opinion i might had cropped out the bottom over exposed portion and utilized that light source, cuz it gives the scene a beautiful illumination at the exposure you've set.... cuz the colors are fantastic, i love the light ((almost dull)) palette...

Thanks for the suggestion, Photofixer. I'll give it a shot--if anything good comes of it I'll ad it to the thread.
