[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We walked down to the beach in the small town of Morondava, and were joined by a whole group of kids who kept us company. This little girl stood out for me in particular, maybe it was her friendly nature or her cool hair.
Unfortunately the beach had been destroyed by previous cyclones and sadly all the hotels along the beach were in ruins.
Nearby Morondava is the amazing avenue of the Baobabs, which is simply magnificent.

Hi Wanda,

Funny and cute to see black girl with blond hair! We can see her fascination in her eyes, probably thinking: "Wow! A white girl with dark curly hair"... :-P) I like the casual pose, the tight framing and... the bokeh!

Looking at your photo, it makes me think of a beach scene I've shoot 3 years ago and I'll get in my archives right now to find it and post it today... Thanks for the idea!

Friendly greetings!

André

The hair is not blond! A kid who plays outside all day long and is constantly exposed to sun will have sun-bleached hair.
Hi Wanda. Very good portrait - the facial expression is well captured. Nice B&W. Good work as usual.

A very beautiful little girl!! A cute expression, and I like her hair. A very nice b&w portrait. TFS and have a great day!
