On the way to the market Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo was taken on the streets of Antigua - the former capital city of Guatemala, a very well preserved colonial town, with cobbled streets and colorful houses. A group of women, dressed in traditional clothes, were heading for the weekly market, carrying their goods covered with large bags.

Hi Michal,

I like this shot. The yellow wall is an impressive backdrop and the characters are interesting, the first one too, because she forms a nice contrast to the three older and more traditional women.

Michal,
Really beautiful colro of the wall showing the local essence and color, the people also adds to the atmosphere give a great sense of the culture, Good composition, unfortunately the people are kind of disconnected and really kind of uninteresting and emotionless. I know there is not much you cna do about it. Regardless, a nice daily life image with good technical qualtiy. Thanks
Way

Hi Michal!
A beautiful compostion in it's simplicity, yet perfectly framed. Just great yellows, and wonderful colors of the women. You have a nack for natural colors, and crystal clear focus. Nice work, cheers,
Steve
