Hi Pedro,welcome back with this very nice memory from your trip in Guatemala,it's an usual thing to watch in the archives during the Covid months without the chance to do new trip. The pic is very artistic,looks like a painting with this soft sharpness,i like it! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Pedro,
A good photo of the mother and her two children. Their colourful clothes stand out well from the pavement in the background. Well done.

Hola Pedro,
A well scanned picture on the mother and two kids.
The children on this must be grown-up youngsters by now, hope they are well and wonder how they would react if see this picture on TE...
Buenas dias,
Ike

Hello Pedro,

There are times, as mother, when you just have to sit and recover from the stresses of taking care of small children. They are delightful, they are fun but can be very tiring!
It is a really well cropped scene and has captured the mother and children nicely in situ.
I wonder if you have enlarged this from a smaller shot.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Pedro
Touching candid portraying a sad situation and desperate living condition love it even without full facial expressions. The toddler on piggyback fascinates me - carrying baby this way is a lovely tradition and it also
offers delightful sight for endless shooting opportunity. This Mayan mom's colourful costume with embroidery is another plus point and all conveyed so perfectly through your photo. Excellent exposure in difficult light. It's a well-timed, Congrats
Best regards
