So sinister . . I'm wondering if those hoods are 'one-size-fits-all' !

I'm amazed that you pulled these out of a 4x3 print! Excellent work. You even got the skin tones right!

@Craig: Thanks. I scanned them at 300 dpi, and then spent ages in Photoshop adjusting the levels, colour balance, spotting out dust & scratches, dodging and burning. I'm not entirely happy with the results myself, but I just haven't found the original negatives as yet......but I'm still searching.

though it was a task perfecting this image in p-shop, your hard work resulted in an awesome image.

Quite an interesting series, Richard... The trappings of this religious celebration are always amazing in Spain.

The strongest of the series I would say, because of its repetition in perspective.
