We've taken trips to Mexico for the past couple of winters to get away from the cold and to photograph whatever I found to be interesting. We'll skip this year since every time we go, within a few months of getting back I have some kind of major medical procedure. Think I'll give my body a rest this year.
This is a government building in Merida Mexico. We were sitting in the central square watching these workers painting the building. I thought the blue sky, white structure, and orange clothing the workers were wearing would make a nice photo. This guy was hopping around the statue pretty easily for being as high as he was, then we noticed the ropes around the neck of the statue giving him the confidence to move without much worry. It was a good way to spend a few hours watching people and the painters.
C&C appreciated

Well done!
Wonderful, unique photo....well seen and executed. The colors add a lot to the story. She looks very relaxed for having someone poke around her ear.
Nice color, especially the reds. You did a nice job with the rather harsh light. I might be inclined to crop out some of the sky. Nicely done.
