[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Caught this muralist at work on a house of a quiet street in the town of Xochimilco ( now really a distant suburb of enormous Mexico City ) .Murals are found throughout the country and they are a joy to look at, i am always impressed by the quality put into them by the artists . This one once finished will be likely the pride of the street it's on !

Thank you for looking,
Carol

Nice capture of daily life on the streets of Mexico Carol. I like the way you've composed this shot. Yellow and blue - one of my favorite color combinations.
Looks like he's sketched in more of the mural up higher on the wall. What a talented artist!

Les couleurs sont superbes avec une image aux détails bien nets. La concentration de l'artiste est bien rendue dans une composition originale.
Bien vu !

Hi Carol,
That's a great artwork done by this Mexican man. It's colours are fantastic, I really like the vivid yellow and the deep blue next to each other. The window looks nice as well. The photo is sharp as a pin, all the details of the painted figure can be seen. Excellent choise of frame, special presentation! TFS.
Friendly greetings,
Kristof

Nice composition and strong colours in this shot Carol, an entertaining observation of daily life at its more colourful.

I wonder about the focal length you used here, the verticals are not quite parallel - the window on the right appears to lean slightly - and I can only assume it's distortion from a wide lens. I believe Photoshop can correct that kind of thing but I wouldn't know how!

Anyway - I like this!

A fabulous shot Carol.I love to see artists at work; so we are doubly rewarded in that you too have made an excellent composition.
Eye catching with the blue and yellow colours.
Interesting note.

Excellent Carol ! Something really original.
Il y a de la couleur et un centre d'intérêt, ce qui en fait une belle originalité.

Iso.

The blue and yellow compliment each other very well - nice sharp shot and an interesting subject... I'd probably have included the base of the ladder and the man's legs.
Cheers

Carol,

This is a great photo of every day life of a painter! I love the vibrant blue colors. It would have been a great photo without him, but with him, it's just spectacular in my opinion!

Thanks for sharing, Lisa

Carol:
Me encantan tus fotos de México. esta me parece espectacular, del señor pintando a la Coatlicue en el muro de una casa de Xochimilco.Me encantaría verla.Por otra parte coincido con Rew en lo que está un poco inclinda la ventana, pero nada que eche a perder la foto.
Una abrazo
María José
