Sandy, there are two things I especially like about your image - the wooden loom that acts as a frame for the Equadorian woman who is preoccupied with her weaving and the colorful display of textiles hanging in the background that tie into the weaving motif. My only suggestion might be to try and tone down the reflected light, possibly from the flash, onto the right side of the frame.

Sandy, very nice! I agree with Paula's comments. The reflected light is somewhat of a distraction.
This brings back a lot of memories for me. The lady that "watched" me during the weekdays (many many years ago) had a loom very much like this one. I would slide the bolt of fabric through and she would pull the bar back. I was fascinated by the device.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Sandy: I like the intensity of the woman as whe works on her loom and her brightly colored background of finished works. Richard
