just a simple daily life observation from the plaza san francisco in quito. people passing by... i could not resist... :)

--
location: backed by the white edifice of the monastery of san francisco, the cobbled plaza de san francisco is one of quito’s oldest and most impressive sights. located on the site of the palace of the inca ruler atahualpa´s son, auqui francisco tupatauchi, the plaza was used for centuries by indigenous groups as a trading center, or tianguez. the plaza and church that you can visit today was built between 1536 and 1580. built on a slight incline, it also affords fine views over the rooftops of southern quito.

Crop, contrast, frame

In PSElements 5 I have enhanced the contrast/saturation on the upper part, cropped. Then in Paintshop 6% clarify. A frame, my personal opinion is that a frame around photographs gives it the real "finish", as long as they are simple. Hope you like it.
