[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
La primer foto que presento es una imagen de una señora de provincia en la gran cuidad de México, vendiendo artesanía clásica de la región de Oaxaca ( eso nos comento al momento de tomar la foto ) la imagen es tomada en Cuautitlan, un municipio del norte del estado de México, se puede apreciar muñecas fabricadas por ella misma, servilletas que tejen con diversos dibujos de flores y aves, algunas calabazas ya talladas y decoradas con emotivos de las fiestas de día de muertos y claro para reforzar las ventas no pude faltar algunos chicles de marca conocidas, vestida con sus tradicionales ropajes en colores mexicanos como el rosa y anaranjado.

Hola Erick.

Quizás en el futuru puedo escribirle en castellano, pero ahora no escribo muy bien. Entonces, nesecito escribir en inglés. Espero que es vale.

1) First of all, welcome to TE. I think your first photo is an interesting one, and I like the fact that you have provided an informative note. It helps me appreciate the image more, as well as your reasons for taking it.

2) From the info on your photo I see that you've got Photoshop CS2. On this image, I think that it would be a good idea to work a little bit with levels and curves. This will help you get clearer colors, as well as creating more contrast. It gives the photo a bit more "punch".

3) I don't mind your point of view (POV), but the next time you're shooting an image like this, you might want to experiment with different angles. Below the person, above, etc. With this photo I think I would have liked it more if you had taken a step or two to the left, and the taken the photo. That way you could have avoided the person in the background, and the background would have been a bit simpler, consisting of the stone wall, and the white wall. That might also have helped create a bit more depth in the photo. Another reason for leaving out the person the background is that, judging from my own experiences with a sony dcs f717, it's difficult to obtain a good bokeh effect where the background is blurred out, with your type of lens.
An idea for a similar setting the next time you're out photographing daily life might be to try som close up portraits if the subjects don't mind. The woman in this photo, for instance, I think has a very intersting face.

I hope my comments are of some use, and hope to see more from you. Thanks for sharing :)

Regards,
Lars-Christian

Hola:
En primer lugar bienvenido a TE. Veras como poco a poco te va enganchando.
En segundo lugar esta fotografia me parece una agradable toma de la vida cotidiana de Mexico. Me encanta en colorido de tu tierra, asi como la fama de tranquilidad con la que os tomais las cosas.
Un saludo desde España:
Pablo
