Woman wearing a typical costume. Portrait of strange 21/100

It's the end of the touristic season in the valley, and the locals celebrate it with a great musical event. Marching bands are coming from the neighbour valleys and beer will flow. This lady in a typical costume of the Ampezzo valley, with her beautiful hat covered with feathers, said she was happy to pose for me, but her eyes looking elsewhere demonstrate some embarrassment

What a lovely gentle face this lady has. Nice portrait.

But she does look lovely - and it was so nice of her to pose for you.

you got the eyes just right here caterina,
eyes are difficult when the sitter wears glasses

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's still a nice shot- sometimes people are a little nervous about starring right into the camera. Her glance actually gives the picture a candid feel rather than posed. Well done!

@carolmw @golftragic @kwind @pyrrhula Thank you. Yes they have very nice costumes in the valleys up here, but they take them out only for special occasions

@caterina Lucky you were there then.
