  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

A candid photo that I took from two "charras" that were relaxing before their presentation in a "lienzo charro". They were competing in a serie of "charrerias" or cowboy competitions. A group of 8 charras is called "Escaramuza", and they compete as a way to show their skills as horse-riders and their abilities to lead their horses through several coordination tests.
