I don't think it's a sign of narrow mindedness to mistake this picture for a klan shot. I think any reasonable person in America would. It may be a sign of our ethnocentricity, but with such a potentially volatile subject matter for Americans, I don't think you should judge people and their reactions so harshly.

| I love this image. It's a shame that people jump to conclusions so quick. Bad on them. Can't look through a lense and be narrow minded, way to think outside the box. I didn't get a chance to vote on this picture, it would have been an 8 from me. Kudos! |

Pero que re-entrada Carlos! Los has dejado a la mitad con la boca abierta!
Cuando vi la foto no me imagine que eras tu que levabas tanto tiempo fuera, estuviste haciendo la mili ? ;)
Espero volver a ver fotos tuyas por aqui, esta transmitia mucho y si hubieras podido utilizar el dodge/burn se le hubiera sacado mucho partido a las texturas y sombras de los antifaces (probaste en b/n?)
PD. No les digas lo del Banderas que se le acaba la carrera en Holliwood :)

I'm so glad I was wrong and even happier I gave you a six. I still stand by the fact that I wish I was able to see a lot more of what was going on. |

| Very good photo. Nice framing. This was a sleeper in the event. Not only does it show something about a world I do not know, but it also shows something about me to me. |

| It's too bad about the assumptions people made about this photo. But you know what they say about assumptions... |

To be honest a better title REALLY could have saved you in this case. 'Observing Spanish Faith' or 'The Eyes of the Spanish Holy Week'. I think you did a great job of keeping the whites from being blown out. You're right about the eyes needing a bit more exposure, but for DPC you didn't have that liberty. I'm not sure about the composition, however. It may be a bit too tight.
It sucks that this was not received better. As others have said, it's a good capture independent of the perceived politics. |

A very good high key image, but to me, not a candid. In photographing candids, I prefer to see something a bit more out of the ordinary, a comic situation, a story untold, etc. I can't get emotion from this photo. All I see is white and what I can see of the eyes is masked. Also, for me; masks, glasses, and hats are a nightmare for the candid photographer. Unfortunately, this would have faired well in a high key challenge, but not as a candid to me. It's a 2. |
To each his own....but a 2 ??????????
I think for most to vote a 2, the image would have to be really bad and this certainly is not in that category. How can we expect anyone to enter a challenge when they're given a 2 on a photo of that quality? I'll probably get ripped for criticizing how someone voted. If so, thats ok. |

| I didn't vote but i think some people owe this man an Apology! It is very different to think that this photo doesn't fit the challenge or that it was a bad pic...it is another thing to vote down because of what you think the photo is...we are judging photos not politics. |

Wow - I was waaaaay off base. Living in southern America, that was the first thing that came to mind. So glad I was wrong~ I still gave it an 8 whether I believed the politics I perceived to be true, were actual or not. Powerful image.

Shame on all of these people that voted it on low on what 'their interpretation' of it was....and it was clearly wrong! I didn't vote but did look through the photos and wondered if it was KKK or something that I wasn't aware of...and it was something I wasn't aware of.
I hate it when people 'assume' they know what the photo is and vote low...and then are wrong!

| is this what i think it is? this has the potential to be an AMAZING candid... if it's real. you should have pulled back and shown us more. by itself this is just more spooky than anything |

| Wow, not sure what to say. Brave is one word that comes to mind when I think about your decision to post this. Yes, it's just a picture but as you are probably finding out a very touchy subject. Well done overall but the eyes aren't really noticable and aren't as sharp as they could be. A 5 |
