[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Tototac is the culture and the empire in my hometown. She is a Totonac Woman dressing her taditional custum, I like the colors over the pink wall in this street, she saw me shoting the camara towards her, but she were not angry, she just kept walking.
I use this Title because I feel so pround of be born in this wonderful place, I love our culture, tradition and of course the food.

Have a nice weekend

ciao Elias,
like that you are proud for yours culture,traditions and,of course,the food..:)well,and like this picture,nice contrast between walls/her traditional costume..
good day,
flory

Hola Elias, this is quite a nice one. It has a good combination of colors and the contrast of her with the wall is well succeeded. Her reaction to your camera is a good bonus too and better than if she hadn't noticed you. Love her colorful and traditional clothes. That impressed me a lot in Mexico: every place I visited, I found diferent food and diferent traditional clothes - each place managed well to keep their own culture and is proud of that. And you too! :))))
I hope that Mexico keeps that way!
Un saludo,
Ricardo

Hi Elias,

you're right to show photographs depicting culture. It's different cultures that keeps the world an interesting place, it wouldn't do for us all to be the same. I like the slightly uphill aspect of the image, great colours and the old door is an interesting item too. A fine capture and an interesting expression too. (or is it a dis-interested expression?)

Regards my friend

Stephen

Excellent daily life scene, great POV and coloring.
It is nice to see, A.

Hi Elias
This picture is well composed, colors are nice. The woman is expressive.
Well done
Bertrand

Hola Elias
This is a happy photo, in the way that it means you are proud of your heritage.

Hola Elias
La combinación rosa-azul-blanco del vestido de la mujer queda estupenda sobre el rosa de la paréd. Buen trabajo.

Ya tenemos algo en común,yo estúve en Mexico Hace muchos ańos y visité Veracruz y tambien estúve dos dias. Donde mas tiempo permanecí fué en D.F y en Zihuatanejo.....una maravilla!

Un cordial saludo
Najib

The colours of this photo are very attractive, like you wrote in your note - so, having read it : are you of Tototac origin too ?
TFS, best regards,
Cath.
