I love this image. It's a shame that people jump to conclusions so quick. Bad on them. Can't look through a lense and be narrow minded, way to think outside the box. I didn't get a chance to vote on this picture, it would have been an 8 from me. Kudos!

Pero que re-entrada Carlos! Los has dejado a la mitad con la boca abierta!
Cuando vi la foto no me imagine que eras tu que levabas tanto tiempo fuera, estuviste haciendo la mili ? ;)
Espero volver a ver fotos tuyas por aqui, esta transmitia mucho y si hubieras podido utilizar el dodge/burn se le hubiera sacado mucho partido a las texturas y sombras de los antifaces (probaste en b/n?)
PD. No les digas lo del Banderas que se le acaba la carrera en Holliwood :)

Originally posted by angelfire: This gave me a litle trouble. When I first saw it I thought low because it made me angry, then i thought it's doing it's job. It's a photograph of a moment to incite emotion. I conciously mark it down because of it's content. Simply because i don't agree with it doesn't mean it's a bad picture. However, I also don't know what is truely going on. It's a great shot in the whole, but we can't figure anything out about the story. All we have is our first impression, which I can tell you for me wasn't a good one. If it only had a little more to help tell the story.

I'm so glad I was wrong and even happier I gave you a six. I still stand by the fact that I wish I was able to see a lot more of what was going on.

Very good photo. Nice framing. This was a sleeper in the event. Not only does it show something about a world I do not know, but it also shows something about me to me.

It's too bad about the assumptions people made about this photo. But you know what they say about assumptions...

To be honest a better title REALLY could have saved you in this case. 'Observing Spanish Faith' or 'The Eyes of the Spanish Holy Week'. I think you did a great job of keeping the whites from being blown out. You're right about the eyes needing a bit more exposure, but for DPC you didn't have that liberty. I'm not sure about the composition, however. It may be a bit too tight.

It sucks that this was not received better. As others have said, it's a good capture independent of the perceived politics.

Originally posted by espy: I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge. A very good high key image, but to me, not a candid. In photographing candids, I prefer to see something a bit more out of the ordinary, a comic situation, a story untold, etc. I can't get emotion from this photo. All I see is white and what I can see of the eyes is masked. Also, for me; masks, glasses, and hats are a nightmare for the candid photographer. Unfortunately, this would have faired well in a high key challenge, but not as a candid to me. It's a 2.

To each his own....but a 2 ??????????
I think for most to vote a 2, the image would have to be really bad and this certainly is not in that category. How can we expect anyone to enter a challenge when they're given a 2 on a photo of that quality? I'll probably get ripped for criticizing how someone voted. If so, thats ok.

I didn't vote but i think some people owe this man an Apology! It is very different to think that this photo doesn't fit the challenge or that it was a bad pic...it is another thing to vote down because of what you think the photo is...we are judging photos not politics.
