Sunny Gift for Frozen Europe, a photo from Victoria, East

Photographer's Note

The Globe to Globe Festival showcases the very best in world music as well as a range of dance and craft workshops, cuisine from around the globe, rides and entertainment.

One can enjoy the multicultural nature of Australian cities at such events as one mingles and interacts with people from all corners of the globe.
I took this shot of a young lady from Guyana who also happens to be a Zumba instructor and who was obviously enjoying the music and the SUNSHINE.

Wikipedia:
Guyana ( i/ɡaɪˈænə/ gy-AN-ə), officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, previously the colony of British Guiana, is a sovereign state on the northern coast of South America and also borders the end most of the Caribbean Sea. The nation is culturally part of the Anglophone Caribbean. Guyana was a former colony of the Dutch and (for over 200 years) of the British. It is the only state of the Commonwealth of Nations on mainland South America, and it is also a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), which has its secretariat headquarters in Guyana's capital, Georgetown. Guyana is one of the very few Caribbean nations that is not an island. Guyana achieved independence from the United Kingdom on 26 May 1966, and became a republic on 23 February 1970.

Hello Klaudio,

Your subject reminds me of some of the early Egyptian sculpture inspired by Nubian beauties. The portrait in profile of this Nubian beauty is certainly apparent, especially with the cornrow hair. It would be good to be able to hear some of the music of the festival.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Great portrait Klaudio - perfectly focused. Just wish you'd send some of that sunshine up to Mittagong - summer forgot to arrive this year.
cheers
Ian

Hi Klaudio,
the portrait is great :) And, of course, it is a very sunny and warm picture!
I like it how you chose a perfect POV to capture this lady: there's practically no disturbing objects around her (if we don't take into account another person who is partially blocked by her shoulder): excellent DOF and light management!
I also like it that, looking at еры lady's face we can guess about her emotions while she is listening...

warm greetings from frozen sunny Moscow,
Elena

Ciao caro Klaudio

Hehehehe I don't know who's worse out of you and Santo, but you certainly know a lovely lady when you see one. She's gorgeous. A beautiful portrait in profile, so enigmatic and exotic. Great skin tones and sharpness. A beautiful shot all round.

Have a great weekend
Lisa
