Niche for our Lady of Guadalupe, taken in the hallway of my uncle's home in Guadalajara. The shadows are from the skylight.

Un altarcito para la Virgen de Guadalupe, tomada en la residencia de mis tíos en Guadalajara. Las sombras son de un cristal en el techo.

Very inviting for the viewer. I think the most outstanding aspect is the "lime" green flower patterns on the outside edges.You captured the image nicely.

Niche for our Lady of Guadalupe seems at peace with her surroundings.

Hola Jose
Me gusta el detalle que tienen en la casa de tus tíos, parece un lugar con mucha vida.
Me gustaría ver tambien una foto un poco más frontal, para poder apreciar mejor a la virgen.
Pero hermoso los colores, amarillo y verde lima, una buena combinación!
Bien visto.

Saludos!
Paula.

Hola José!

I love the colourful that this place breaths! Depending on the place, religion is understood as a calmness, intimacy and humility, so colour was not supposed to be seen, but that´s not strictly true.

Your vivid and at the same time intimate picture, deny it clearly.

Colour, and the ambience of this precious little corner, are the striking things of your beautiful picture my friend!

Have a great Monday!

Miguel

Perfect and interesting sharpness on the small altar. Colors and light are really good, despite the low overexposure on the top.
