Nice work on this Cleo!
The background is very detailed and the coloration you have done is lovely. Nice image of the dancer/musician. Gret storytelling. Lighting is very complimentary. Best of luck!

Thank you for your kind review. The background is not original but added digitally.

Comment from kaikai
Very interesting combination. The two shots have good contrast and compliment each other well. Good angle and framing. I like how the two heads are back to back. The detail on the modern Mayan is not so great...I wonder if you could bring more detail out by adjusting the levels. Overall, a well thought out composition.

You deserve 5 stars just for your notes, very educational and helpful. This is a fine composition and an imaginative juxtaposition of two striking images. Perfect focus, colour and lighting on the Maya man and an excellent background too. Thank you for posting this.
