Fiesta is a huge event in my hometown of San Antonio. Every year there are two "kings" of Fiesta crowned: El Rey Feo ("The Ugly King") and King Antonio. The two "Kings" and their courts spend Fiesta decked in their regalia and posturing for the crowds. I found this man in a resturant called Rosarios in an area of South San Antonio called the King William District. The King William District has a lot of bed & breakfast homes and if you ever want to visit San Antonio, this is the way to do it - it's within walking distance of downtown!

Very little post was done on this image: curves and levels in photoshop, cropped.

Not a bad portrait shot from this event. It doesn't really convey to me the feeling of a location or home. Even with the title (which I think is too long.) Still, it's a nice shot of the guy.

Great shot, but this simply isn't about the village, it is a very well done portrait.

Interesting portrait. Background detracts since there are quite a few hot sots and business. Costume colors are well exposed.
