[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The orange line is the Equator, with the Northern Hemisphere on the left, and the Southern Hemisphere on the right. The line crosses right thru the building in the background.

The location is a suburb of Quito aptly named Mitad del Mundo ("Middle of the Earth"), 22 km from downtown.

Considering the "middle of the world" theme I thought it was appropriate to place the sign in the center of the frame, the girls are there to break a sterile symmetry, and I suspect they do like they belong to the Northern Hemisphere.

Hi Daniel!
Great shot ,caused by your very low POV.Good light and colorcontrast ,too.The girls,definetily from the northern hemisphere seem to be afraid to cross this line,and the position makes your composition perfect.
Regards,Leo

Hi Daniel,

A good POV of the orange line of the Equator, of the house and of the two women under a beautiful sky, the photo has a good composition, DOF and nice colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Daniel
Nice capture of the equator from the ground. Lovely colours. I wonder if there is any difference to stay on the left or on the right side of this line ;).
Regards

Hi Daniel,
A composition with a lot of charm and originality.
The symmetry and the perspective that has the image with the orange line, which separates both hemispheres, is very good, and gives a strong graphism.
Both blonde girls break the symmetry, and give an enterteining touch.
The sky is fantastic, and the clouds add more visual impact.
Made well, the light and the colors are perfect.
Best regards,
Josep
