[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi,

For the majority of Mexicans, Death is not considered as it is for many countries or people. For us, it represents a tradition. We can even say that it is celebrated (1st and 2nd November every year). These days, the cemeteries are full of visitors who take all kind of offerings for their passed away relatives. It is beautiful.

I found these skulls in Xcaret, Cancun. Handcrafts like these are very common and popular among tourists.

Regards,
Alonso

Hola ALonso
Una foto muy tipica y bien capturada, me gustan mucho los colores anaranjados que dominan la foto, los detalles estan muy bien capturados.
Un consejo sobre la presentacion, si le agregaras un marco a tus fotos (photoshop canvas size) eso le haria una buena presentacion a las fotos y relucirian mas.
Un saludo
Daniel

Hola Alonso!
J'aime bien ta photo hors de l'ordinaire et les couleurs sont magnifiques. Je ne savais pas qu'il y avait de telles célébrations chaque année. J'ai plusieurs figurines du Mexique mais n'ai pas vu de souvenirs semblables à Puerto Vallarta, je l'aurais surement acheté.
Félicitations!
Emilius

the instalation is great but the entire credit goes to the photographer who showed it in such a good way. well composed and framed, excellent POV.

Bonsoir Alonso
impressionnant ces portraits. C'est saisissant de réalisme. Ces têtes sont très expressives
Amicalement
Bertrand

bonjour,
j'aime le regard du masque de dessous qui regarde le masque de dessus comme si il était vivant ... d'ailleurs il y à une vie à l'intérieur ...

Hello Alonso,
Excellent photo of the "El Dia de los Muertos" celebration. This is celebrated in Denver as well and I love the ceremonies! Excellent composition! Well done!
Stan
