Photographer’s Note
This picture captures a back room of the central church in Real de Catorce. A city at close to 10,000 ft in elevation attracts pilgrims from all over Mexico who are looking for cures to their medical ills. This church was the site of a San Francisco sighting a few hundred years ago. Devotees leave these painted metal squares to thank or implore the saint. Does anyone have comments on the composition? How could I do this better? I also have a detail shot of one of these placards if anyone is interested.

I think it may have interesting if you took this from a slightly different angle, so that you could see the detail on at least a few of these placards. I like that there is a person on the picture but I think I would like it better if her legs weren't chopped off.
(I'm no expert but I have learned heaps since starting on TE I wish you the same)
Regards,
Becky
