Photographer’s Note
Somewhere on the road in Huehuetenango I met these girls. I was at quite a distance but they were still afraid of the camera. We made it up with some cookies.

Hi Alfred,
They do look kind of scared. Because of that, this is a very odd photo. It has lots of emotion. At the same time the composition is really nice because of the stair effect created by the amphoras.

nice shot
they look kind of scared but still nice shot
the jars they carry on their heads when full of water must be heavy considering their age
the jars are beautiful too
Usually they use a piece of clothe on her heads to avoid the pain of the rough surface

your flash helped get rid off the shadows in this shot.. it was particularly subtle and light. i like the way they form a gradual line going up to the right and each one them has a different and unique face expression... great shot Alfred!

A most evocative shot, Alfred. It would have been nice to have a little more lighting on the faces, but the overall mood is still pervasive. The variation in the facial expressions is fascinating. Nice capture.

Great shot Alfred
To start with the girls are beautiful
The vases on the head are very special and the way they hold it with one hand and the finger is amazing a like
Sharpness and composition are very good

Your composition is very interesting and the way these 3 little girls are looking at you very emotional.

A really great photograph. the steeped view of the jars and the girl's heights is a superb effect combined with the sloping hill in the background. great expressions, DOF and tight frame. well done!

Hi Alfred
A fine bunch of graces you captured here - I like the different expressions even the little one looks a bit worried. Tfs

Hi Alfred - I love the way they are lined up, such a photogenic trio, the diffrent expressions are interesting, suggesting pain, indifference, and curiousity.

I really like how it goes from shortest to tallest. I almost would like to see a head to toe picture. But you prolly had to shoot this b4 they all started crying hard or something. But ya congrats and thanks for sharing.
