This is wonderful! The pureness of the little girl against the rough and aging walls and doors add great contrast. I also love the tones! Great shot! Shu

Thanks for the comments guys, I post processed this in 3 minutes (literally) before coming to work this morning. The original file is at home, so I don’t know if I will have enough time to re post. Just cropped, unsaturated the colors a bit (for the first time, I think :) ), resized and applied a little of USM. I cropped at right side two more girls dressed the same way (there is not more area of the door at left). But in my hurry, I thought that the others 2 were a distraction instead of adding something to the picture. I liked the contrast of her white dress against the black door. I like the handmade signs, since they are part of the typical scenery of Antigua. -Jose Pablo.

Excellent José Pablo! *: Agreeing with Rod (even if it hurts ;-) ), I think it should be longer... therefore I would crop out the upper part of the pic...the signs add distractions to me at least...

That's a great catch, the way she is hitching her dress up maybe to keep it clean. The contrast of the new dress to the old doors & building even the white painted wall surrounding the girl plays a part. Just two small things bothered me a little I would like to see more of her face by dodging (lightening) & I'm not sure about the square crop. Could you have made the shot longer or were there distractions? Lovely shot though.
