This stern portrait of a Cuenca woman wearing traditional Andean clothing was made with a long telephoto lens from across the street. She was standing motionless next to a cross that was part of the San Angelo church. The diagonal sweep of her blue poncho echoes the pair of diagonals in the triangle around the cross behind her. I liked the way the wall changes from gray to brown on the left hand side of the picture -- the line between the two colors joins the base of the triangle holding the cross, and also joins the spot where her bright red skirt meets the blue poncho. The white Panama fedora, meanwhile, echoes the nearly white cross next to it. The figure and the background seem to be a perfect fit for each other.
