[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken in a recreation of a faire from the begining of the XXth century in Portugal, during the celebrations of S. Joćo.
In this kind of faire, people trade all kind of goods -fabrics, pottery, vegetables, cheese, honney, etc.

S. Joćo feast is a religious celebration - takes place in the night of the 23 to the 24 of July and during this night is traditional to have o big fire and everyone will jump over it.

In the photo, the fire will be made with rosemary, and at the top they make a doll that will burn with the fire.

At first I thought this was a reflection in the water, but now I see it, it all makes sense. This is a good pic, because you have rim lit the subject but evaluated the exposure so you can actually see the dolls faceless face despite the strong sun in the BG. Well done, TW

very nice and mystic effect. original pov

Bela foto Sofia. Sou da Guarda e lį estive comer umas sardinhas no S. Joćo e hoje acho que me apetecem mais...

Bela foto. A luz por trįs da figura estį muito bem captada.
