[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As we approach Easter I'm reminded of my trip to Guatemala last year. We happened to be there in the weeks before Easter. Little did we know that this is the most important religious holiday for them, nor that we would be there at that precise time - to see the processions, and all the pageantry that is involved. What a lucky coincidence for us! We almost spent the night on the street though, as we were ill-prepared for a city bursting at the seams with people! All part of the adventure!

So I post this with very fond memories of my fantastic trip, and the beautiful Guatemalan people. This shot is of the girls and the float they carry in the procession. I got a kick out of the second girl from the end!! In all the action and excitement of the moment, I don't think I even noticed her and her mobile phone until I was back home and saw the image on my monitor!

Cropped, colors adjusted, framed and sharpened.

Thanks for technical assistance Carol:)

Hello Trudy,
Great posting for the upcoming Easter holidays , Holy week is celebrated with immense devotion over there and you were there during that time , Wow lucky you ! Thanks to your height and first row position you were able to capture the whole thing almost down to the girls' feet .I can't help but smile at the sight of the second to last girl enjoying a chat on her mobile phone, she comes as a surprise indeed !
Thanks for sharing this one and i like your large frame it increases the perspective somewhat ,
Carol
My pleasure Trudy .

Hi Trudy

A superb daily life shot from Guatemala, with good sharpness, colour & framing. I like the girl with the cell phone breaking the pattern, even though it's probably inappropriate timing, on her part. Tfs!

Ciao Trudy


Certainly the faith of people come even shaken,
most people do not follow as before!
And look what I studied at Colegio de priest and were
hard with everything, seeing your picture, and others comment
the cells phone already it is part of people's lives, as
the air we need. So that was a funny scene.
The photo is beautiful colors and excellent definition
in the picture!

Good Easter to you!

Sergio

Ciao Trudy, great composition for Easter time, good sharpness and beautiful colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

hi trudy,
this is really an interesting shot!
I usually see pictures of the semana santa in Spain where men carry the float or the cross, and seeing girls here doing the same is kind of surprising.
I like the way you froze the scene - the various expressions of the girls' faces, their heads covered with scarves, some waring gloves, one even talking into her mobile phone!
truly a well-spot image!

HI Trudy
the one thing I noticed is that they were all in step left foot forward.
The seriousness of the ceremony is reflected on their faces except of course the gal with the cell and handbag.
A special event to remember.Well done
Dot
