| Lev, this is a wonderful shot. How lucky that you happened upon it. Right place right time for sure. Like the analogy to the Deposition of Christ. Very apt. |

Michelle, while it is not possible to tell from the photo, she is indeed coming down, that's why it's called "Deposition of Mary" (allusion to the classical theme of "Deposition of Christ" by Fra Anjelico, Raphael, Rubens, and many others)
as for the guy laying down, unfortunately I only noticed him in the photo... :) Typically these side structures are tombs of rich and/or famous people, but it looks like there the body was embalmed and preserved for all to see. Or maybe it is just a statue of him ... I don't know... As I mentioned before, in Mexico, they have an odd relationship with their dead.

That statue is gorgeous. Is she going up on the pedestal or coming down?
I'm quite curious about the one behind them. Who does it represent and do you know why it is laying down? |

Incredibly fascinating shot.
The surfer will score much higher... but this is so interesting, Lev! |

Do you think this is San Diego? :)... nah, it was shot two weeks ago in Guanajuato, Mexico... |

Lev, I missed your surfing shot, but I love street photos like this. The thumbnail seems a bit cluttered by DPC standards (voters love those clean graphics), but at 800 pixels it's fine -- plus has the advantage in my book of being unique!

| Great range of expressions! Very interesting scene. And yes, the other one will score better but I like this one too. |

| What a scene! The woman makes the entire scene, I get the sense that she is not pleased, either that or her clothes are starting to bother her! |
