Adorning the Palms Photo

Photographer’s Note

The first weekend in May, the town of Panchimalco (a little village near San Salvador) turns into a see of flowers.. Palms are decorated by the locals with flowers to accompany a procession in honor of the Virgin Mary.. A beautiful tradition that's my all time favorite, I try to make it every year that I'm at home!

Beautiful face, hands and flowers.

Try a much tighter crop in which you eliminate the over-exposed building and lots of the area to the right of the flowers. Concentrate on your subjects.

Bring the brightness down a bit and contrast up. Sharpen.

Sorry I can't post a Workshop for you, I've used up my allowance.

I wish you'd dropped just a bit lower and captured all of her right hand.

I think you can turn this into a first rate portrait.
