I went to all parts of Mexico for years to document their big celebration"Dia de Muertos", All saints day here at the end of October, when they honor their deceased family members. In some place they go to their cemetaries at night to do a candle light vigil, which is where I shot this image. People were very good to me in allowing me to photograph them and their families in very private moments. I hope I captured the solemnity and emotion of this one.

Yes you captured what was happening beautifully with sensitivity of the moment. Perfect feeling/ mood with the warm directional lighting of a candle. The somber moments is also enhanced the way you composed it by the person in the foreground. Good Going!!
Also the complete story behind the image helps a lot to understand it even more than the story that the image itself tells.
