The blue in the boy's hair is most likely quite authentic. He has shiny black
hair which is probably very reflective, and the blue is merely a reflection of
the blue of the sky above.
Colours look pretty normal to me, for transparencies. I've never been to
Guatemala, but other pics I've seen from central and southern American
countries have shown common use of highly saturated colour in their
clothes.
