Spirit hunters by =lokisb "has captured a lot of emotion! Bravo! I'm also a huge fan of off-center subjects and I'm assuming your subject is the young man off to the right so great job there as well!" - words by =IxzJenn07zxI in a critique.
I personally love all the movement within it and how we can see the different stages of the taking out of the mask of the "ánimas". Well done!

Description

called "ánimas" they go through the streets the procession does not pass in order to push off "evil spirits". It was really fun following them for a while.

You've captured a lot of emotion in this shot and I've never seen anything quite like it! Bravo! Your use of Depth of Field is great too- you've kept the foreground in good, clear focus while the background is blurred just enough to keep your attention up front. Your use of color is also great and the contrast is perfect. I'm also a huge fan of off-center subjects and I'm assuming your subject is the young man off to the right so great job there as well!

If you've cropped this photo, my only suggestion would be to go back and add a little more height and width to the frame. I feel like it would a more effective shot if you were able to get a better feel for the size of the room. I hope that made sense!
