PESO:

Still editing the Chinchero market photos.  I don't think I'll ever 
finish this day!!  It was probably my most fun day photographically, 
though.  Lots of people who never objected to being photographed:

Caption:  Quechua men and women in distinctive hats drink chicha, 
corn beer fermented with saliva, at the Sunday market in the village 
of Chinchero in the Sacred Valley of Peru.  The glasses are dipped in 
water with herbs between each use to sanitize them.

The contrast was extreme between the bright sunny background and the 
darker shady foreground under a canopy.  I tried using curve 
adjustment layers.  Any other suggestions?

TIA

Tina
