This photo was taken in the artisan's market in Antigua. There are rows and rows of handmade (I think) place mats, fabrics, cloths, and sheets.

Mark, nice colors and sharpness in this shot. TYpical central/south American textiles.
It looks to me like there is a little overexposure in the middle. Caused by flash?

A very nice composition full of colours with a very interesting pattern. I made a WS, just to correct slightly the CCW tilting. Congratulations ..

There are many good photos in your gallery but I've decided to say something about this one.
Somehow it is special to me and stands out as it represents what is typical not only for Guatemala but for other South American countries as well, and that is that festive pallete of colours.
You captured the essence & simplicity of it by showing a pile of fabrics, tightly cropped and against black frame that enhances the effect.
The image is very sharp and the note useful!
Thanks for sharing, Mark!
