Nigerian Lady

This is one of 3 clay 'heads' that we bought when resident in Nigeria. I love the texture of the clay. Used the tinfoil technique for the background bokeh. Thanks for the idea @cazann!

Love the depth of field and the composition. I also love Scotland and Scottish people. I lived in Africa and appreciate your photographic interpretation of wonderful African art often copied by Picasso.
