Puerta Limon, Panama ~ This was taken after exiting The Panama Canal on a Holland America Cruise Ship. We stopped at this port where there were locals milling about. I spotted this family sitting in the shade, and was taken aback by this grandmother and her family. I asked if I could take her picture. I handed her five dollars, as I knew this would be great. The first shot they were not looking at me. When I asked them to look RIGHT at me, they did, and I knew that I got something special. I love this shot.
