My Oh Maya Part 10

The curandero stops on the street and charms the crowds with his snake and his potions. He leaves them with hope and his pockets full of notes.

Scanned from 35mm with Nikon V ED scanner.

Marvelous shot through the crowd Hugh. The blurred heads make a perfect frame for the curandero and his snake. Wonderful, almost loving, expression on the guys face as he cradles the reluctant reptile. Very natural colours again. Best regards, Roberto

i can see that you were not all that brave on this one Hugh! LOL shooting from far behind.. just in case?? I do understand for I hate snakes myself and would certainly not let one get near me closer than a 10 meter range!
Otherwise probably not your best shot recently...;-(

Hi, Hugh.
I think this scene is interesting but I don't like proportions here...
I made a WS, it gives something of very "little" but I think is better...
Best regards. Grazyna.
