PhotoFeed Contest - Portrait Photography Round 153: Men in Black [ENG/ESP]
“If I were to meet a priest and an angel, I should salute the priest before I saluted the angel. The latter is the friend of God; but the priest holds His place.”
St. John Vianney

Men in Black
During the 168th visit of the sacred image of the Divine Shepherdess last Wednesday, while waiting for the procession to pass by where I was standing, I had the opportunity to see and photograph a couple of young Catholic priests walking down a street parallel to the route usually used for the procession.
It is common for many people to choose alternative and less congested routes due to the large crowds on the avenue where the Virgin is carried on the shoulders of her parishioners for the more than 7 kilometers that separate her from the Cathedral, and this is certainly no exception for members of the clergy.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Hombres de Negro
Durante la visita 168 de la Sagrada imagen de la Divina Pastora el miércoles de la semana pasada, mientras esperaba el paso de la procesión por el lugar donde me encontraba, tuve la oportunidad de ver y fotografiar a un par de jóvenes sacerdotes católicos, quienes caminaban por una calle paralela a la ruta usualmente usada para el recorrido.
Es común que ante la gran aglomeración de personas en la avenida donde la Virgen en hombros de sus feligreses recorre los mas de 7 kilómetros que la seaparan de la Catedral, muchos optan por usar rutas alternas y menos congestionadas, y ciertamente esto no es excepción para los miembros del clero.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.

All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
