Ladies are waiting their turn before starting to walk on street.

Suriname Flag :

Green is a symbol of the fertility of Suriname and its unlimited potential as a country. Green is the symbol of hope for a new Suriname. White is a symbol for justice and freedom.

The white bars represent justice and freedom and connect the green bars, representing fertility, potential and hope with the red bar the symbol for Suriname's deeds.

This red color was obtained by mixing bright orange (symbol of renewal) with carmine (symbol of love). It symbolizes the never ending urge of a nation to work hard for a renewed citizen and society.

The star is the symbol of unity of the nation. Yellow stands for sacrifice. Unity of the nation will lead one day to a golden future. From the light of the star the nation gets its inspiration, its confidence to be able to manage and be self sufficient. The star guides the citizens to sacrifice and to give its best effort to the nation.

Many cheers you to all,

Merhaba Ertugrul,
The colours and the nice smiles are irresistible. It's interesting how my attention is constantly drawn towards the girl on the right, I guess it is because she is looking at you (and us). A great portrait indeed.

Hi Ertugrul,
I like the idea to relate the symbol of the fertility to the image of these three beautiful
girls....genial idea ! The women are the future! its resolution, adaptation, intelligence, resistance, ability to work of small and great problems is very superior of the men (and I am one of them), but the great motor of our society is the women!
Fantastic chromatic force!

Best regards,

Jordi

A beautiful portrait with striking colors. Nice skin tones & costumes. I assumed it was taken with fill in flash ... good result with nothing harsh at all. Regards. Latiff.

Hello Ertugrul:

One takes very successful where it is important to the disposition given by the girls to pose for your lens.

The colors contrasted beautifully with sharpness and brightness. Perfect frame, and an expressiveness by the players, which is contagious. Excellent work, my friend
