Otavalo Senora

[Mike Landwehr]

This image of a native Otavalo Indian (I assume) woman was taken during a visit with Artie to the market in Otavalo, Ecuador. It was a great spot for local color and culture! I used the clone tool to clean up some spots on her clothing, and to remove some of the multiple highlights in the eyes. Any C & C welcomed.

I don't recall using flash, but perhaps I did? The exif indicates the flash "fired, compulsory mode". I was shooting in AV mode, so I suppose I may have been using a little fill.
