Brothers in a Parade Photo

Photographer’s Note

These two brothers are riding a horse during a parade in Cuenca. Children from the entire city dress up in fancy costumes and outfits for this special event. Some are on horseback, donkeys and some sitting atop of floats. The parade goes on for a few hours while they are marched all around the city. Some of the more elaborate costumes for the girls costs as much as one month's pay for some people.

Hi Makr
Very nice and lovely pic. Only I don't know if they are having fun together...?
Sharp and detailed those clothes and the red colour is a bright contrast.Blurred background is also good.
Thanks, grretings Albrecht

Dear Mark,

I love this picture, the boys look so cute and addittionally I like this direct and serous look of one brother. Very beautiful colours and great quality of the picture. How long were you travelling within Ecuador and what is your experience?
with best regards
