Greetings! There's not a lot of major comments I can make about this that haven't already been said by other people. I agree with all of them. This would have benefitted tremendously by being in black and white or sepia to give it an old look to match the scene and it would have been better to move in closer to make the scene less busy. I'm guessing that you took this passing through and felt awkard asking these people if they minded posing for a picture.
All in all, I thought this met the challenge very well and in an interesting way but the image itself isn't what it could have been if you had really stuck around and worked the scene a bit. Even as it is now, without taking another photo, I think it might benefit from a tighter cropping, if you didn't lose resolution.
The other question I found myself asking when I saw this shot is: would they have really had a pineapple? :)
I'd like to know where this is! I consult for a living history center here in Utah. Loads of fun. You capture them at work very nicely, though it is a tad busy for my tastes. Still, nice work.
Great capture... was this at one of those festivals with an 1800's theme? Anyway, you should have made this a black and white or sepia picture. That would have been great!
I think this shot could have been improved by getting a bit closer and losing the ten overhead. Wish lighting was a bit stronger. Nice subject, though.
