At the Zócala, in order to capture images of interesting people we set up at places where the light would be behind us, but the background would be interesting but not too light to avoid distractions. Here, the background is a fountain, and the young girl was walking past, eyeing the photographer with a suspicious look. Fortunately the shutter was released just before the shadow of a pole obscured her face, adding a little more interest to the image. We found that children in Oaxaca made excellent subjects.
