[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After a 3 hour walk at the Old Town part of the City of Mazatlan, I went to a place they call "The Golden Zone" the new heart of the shopping district, in the new downtown area. The place is along the the Avenida Playa Gaviotas, along the Pacific Ocean and overlooking the Goat and Deer Islands. So you can walk along the shoreline or go shopping across the street. It has been my habit to go behind salespersons and look back towards the shoppers but this time there are no shoppers just the bright sunlight of the Mexican sun. The saleswoman is selling trinkets and inexpensive jewelry. Her skin is golden like other Mexicans. I tried to balance this photo by putting her on one side and placing the bright areas on the other side.

hi Andre, nice shot here. Good effort.

Hello Andre,
Here I'm impressed by your walking around for 3 hours under the burning sun!
Your image is well composed, with nice and balanced colours... Focus on the lady but still giving a hint of the merchandise! Nice presentation...
Regards,
Pablo -

Well composed and it does look like some interesting jewellery.

Welcome back, Andre, as we have not seen you much on TL for quite a while. Very nicely done street picture with a good composition and great sharpness. It provides a very good feel of the ambiance of the market. Well done!

Sorry, I have run out of green smiles a little while ago!

Welcome back Andre good to see you, like the compo and agree with Pablo he has said it all.
