Yes, I like the saturation and compo

Most beautiful colors and I think the photo with the three subjects just adds to the fact that there is definitely something curious going on! Perfect. jano

This is a great shot. The look on the youngest to the right is the best bit of the photo for me but once you get passed his expression there is so much else to see. The colours are stunning.

Jose you have a great image here. Colour and expression and it really fits the theme. There are probably several crops you could try and even end up with two images, but this one is fine as it it is.

Nice shot Jose, I like that all three are looking the same way. They really had something to look at too:-)

Thanks everybody for the comments.
Abs, I totally agree with you; but also I agree with Cat, so I decided to leave these 3 people on the picture since I thought it would be more interesting and intriguing what the 3 of them are looking at the same time.
I have to confess this was a simple snapshot, but when I saw later their expressions I decided to post it here for the challenge.
For the curious, this is what they were looking at:


Andrew, Great memory. Yes, you have to go through Tecpan to go to the ruins of Iximche. Here are some shots of Iximche with other pictures I took that day:

Trip was great. It was a photography trip with 2 other friends of a local photo club I just joined. Weather was good. No rain :) Thanks for asking.

Nice shot Josè. The colors came out very nicely. The expressions make you wonder what they`re all looking at. Is tecpan near Iximche? How was the trip? - andrew

Nicely done Jose', This is 2 pictures in one. It has 2 points of interests (at 1/3rd and 2/3rd ) If you crop the right or the left each will still retain the interest, as Abs pointed out. However one thing that ties both halves together is the fact that all of them and looking at the same thing! That makes you wonder what is so interesting going on over there. Especially since the guy in red T, is hiding a smirk! -Cat

imho, a portrait image with only kid (cropped next to girls leg) would be stronger. this is good too though. especially vivid colors. -Abstract
