Great composition and colors, Kerry!, I assume that the zarapes are from Saltillo, Mexico, aren't they?,Kerry Drager October 09, 2009
Hi Amalia,Thanks for the nice comments, Amalia - much appreciated. The outstanding colors and patterns sure caught my eye. I added a hat from our little ranch for added visual interest - with the subdued color and curve contrasting with the serape's bold colors and strong diagonal lines.
This close-up scene was shot in late afternoon sunlight. I also tried a little later - early evening - but the low-angled sun cast shadows in the wrong places. Sometimes getting the right light takes experimenting :-) ...
Thanks again! #8023591
