Lotería *

Salsipuedes

"La Bajada de Salsipuedes" means something like "the get-out-if-you-can downhill street". It is not a very nice area, btw, hence the name. This man is selling lottery tickets with some aloe plants on the background (for home remedies).

1/640s f/4.0 at 75.0mm iso400 full exif

Thanks Rod!

Very good shot, the white shirt sleeve is a bit distracting. Well done Humberto.

Mary Anne, just as Jose Pablo comments, Mariano is Panamanian, so this guy may well be a fan... Jose Pable, thanks for your comments!

Mary Anne, I bet he is! And also a big fan of Mariano Rivera. Nugar, Your 3 pictures are great. Congratulations. -Jose Pablo.

Interesting shot. Do you think he's really a Yankees fan? Mary Anne

The Gov. The Official name is Lotería Nacional de Beneficencia and its proceeds are used for social work. On one of my exhibition images theres a young woman selling tickets too.

Nugar, don't know the history, but it's a whole town... a small one tough.. I know I've been there once or twice...but don't remember in which state...

Thanks for the suggestion, Alex, I will try it... Pedro: A whole town? Was it dangerous at some point in history?

His hand tells that he is very eager to play. You might consider softening a shadow around his eyes by selecting the upper part of his face, take feather around 20 and apply shadow/highlights to your taste
