Hello Trudy.
Having difficulties to post pictures with 800 pixels ?
Did I told you how easy that is with PhotoFiltre.com (free to use)
if not, let me know.
Picture is lovely, but the grain on their skin is not good.
Best regards from Jan

Hello Trudy,

Very interesting notes to accompany your shot.

The portrait, for me, is lovely, not just as a portrait, but also as a social document.
I adore seeing how the bond between mother and child is strengthened by this close contact.
The details are well captured and, the icing on the cake is, the youngster has your undivided attention!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Trudy

A superb daily life shot of the Mayan mother & child with excellent colour lighting & sharpness. I like the backward glance of the Indian woman, contrasting against the direct gaze of her infant. Tfs!

Could use some brightening i think , her face and the infant's particularly, these people are one of the friendliest of Central America , Whether you buy or not she sat with you and enjoyed your company , how sweet that proves it out of no doubt .Thank you for sharing your sweet memories with us Trudy.

The lives and stories of people like this woman - in fact still of the majority of people on Earth - are quite outside our own frames of reference.

She has the look of someone who faces life with stoicism.

I think this could have been brightened a little - ideally you'd use a diffuse fill-flash or a reflector, but street portraiture is a tough discipline and often you have to take what you can get.
