Another nice documentary shot - and I can't hel;p wondering what has caught their attention off to your right...one wee girl is looking at you, the others elsewhere. Nice capture of the smoke coming from the cooking pigs...i'm sure that lechon was as tasty as it looks :-)

Ay! Lechon baboy! Ang sarap!

... Nice capture in very difficult metering conditions, the shade vs. sunshine creates a real challenge, but you did ok here.

I do have to wonder with Richard about what else they're looking at. Another camera?

Hello Karen
Very original Bar-B-Q or Mechoui. Roasting two pigs mean a lot of people at the party. Another good cultural shot, bright colors and lovely people.
Thanks for sharing

Hello Karen.
Always wonder, how come, poor people are so friendly to us, and (sometimes) not the other way round. ?
Nice daily life picture.
Cheers from Jan

Hello Karen
Ahhhh, lechon!!
Delicious, even better served on the beach a silky soft tropical night....
This is a fine documentary, these guys can feed quite a few guests by these two pigs!

Hi Karen,
Who's coming for dinner? The strong point besides showing daily life of the village which i appreciate to see ,has to be your light management control (extreme light conditions prevail here with the darkened pits ,the skin tones of the villagers and worse the highlighted BG to cope with , quite a challenge indeed.. )but i do not think one could have done much better than that.(pp perhaps )I say it 's pretty good stuff ,the roasted pigs and of course the picture ,
Good job,
TFS,
Carol

in the tagalog term we call this food lechon, i think it came from a spanish origin, again great capture of our culture, by the way it is a custom here in the philippines to invite everyone in fiesta or parties, the celebrant or the household cannot say no if you ask them that you want to have a taste of their food
