50 mono portraits at 50mm : No. 23 : Candy Floss Girls

Another portrait from our midweek visit to Skegness

These two ladies run a sweet kiosk, selling candy floss, tins of pop and various other confectionery

I asked if I could photograph them individually, but they preferred to be together.

I think they may have been mother and daughter as they have similar mouth's and noses

They liked the photo's when I showed them on the back of my 450D

These two ladies are the last of my "Skeggy Portraits". Only another 27 to go !!!

Great portrait capture. They do not look as happy being photographed as the previous ones.

[Judith Johnson]

Tow great smiles. Really terrific captures especially with the glint in the eye.

They gave you some lovely smiles. I'm guessing candy floss is what we call "cotton candy" in the U.S.
