the Daltons in Guatemala Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken in San Pedro, a small vilage near Atitlan lake. i converted the colours to this sepia-like photo because i found the mood better than in coloured version. i will put the original coloured one in workshop.
scan from slide.

Dag Inn,

een leuke titel voor deze sfeervolle foto met mooie contrasten tussen licht en schaduw. De Sepia vind ik niet slecht maar ik vraag me af of B/W niet nog wat beter zou zijn geweest. TFS en groetjes.

Zou het kunnen dat je de dia omgekeerd hebt gescand ? Ik heb nogal wat moeite met het lezen van de opschriften ;-)

Wow. Great one, Inn. The two chickens passing on either side of the fourth one. Lovely light. The conversion was a great idea. Good title, too. Best, -Hugh

This latest Guatemala post is wonderful. Quite a long time ago...these little girls must have gone with their lives quite far.

It was a difficult lighting situation but you came away well in exposure. The fowl running is essential to the attraction, and of course the girls and the receding the road.

It is too late, but I think this as a situation that deserved a bit of tilt...it would have added dynamism and enhanced the running chicken and contrasted the otherwise tranquil mood of a central american morning.

Very nice.

Hi Inn,
this one has a lot of swinging rhythm, you captured a beautiful moment. Sepia is a good choice.
Cheers Chris

salut,
je ne suis pas sûr que les mayas du Guatemalas aiment la comparaison avec le rebut des yankees.

A very good old-style image with these women in their traditional costume, a well done image Inn, compliments, I like its nice old atmosphere and the detail of the chickens is excellent.
Have a nice day
Ciao

Hi Inn.

This looks good, with the monotone..
Strong lights pushing their walk , and energetic steps..on the pavements..added with a live touch with the two hens.
Good timing and a good composition.

Salutes, dear friend.

Salut, Inn.
Une lumière particulière règne ici, j'aime bien.
Une ambiance intéressante, et la poule qui traverse la rue est très bien vue ici :).
Amitiés, Grazyna.

Hey Inn,
:DDD Een hele goeie. En heel mooi van licht en compositie
Niet erg hoor dat je dia verkeerd gescand hebt, ik vind zelfs dat het beeld qua opbouw en compositie er beter uitkomt.
Groetjes en prettig wkd

THis picture is dramatic. I love the sepia effect here. This shows great daily life of people from there. THe conner where you took this picture looks so ancient to me which is really good. Well done
