[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is yet another picture of the Maasai people...this time of the ladies!

Maasai women and married men shave their heads, whereas young men have thin strips of leather plaited into their long locks. (Take a look at my gallery if you're curious as to what this looks like!).

I like this picture because of the expressions of happiness on their faces, and the movement of the dancers. Hope you like it!

Hi Shannon, I love their happiness which protrudes through. Everything about the masai mara fascinates me. I have yet to visit kenya. Your image is well thought out and well executed. Good depth of colour and pov. TFS.

lynette
