Leicester Carnival Smile

This lady is part of the Derby Caribbean Troop who were taking part in the Leicester Caribbean Carnival last weekend.

It's a great event to photograph and this lady gave me a big smile when I asked her for a photo.

Shot with my Canon 60D and nifty fifty

It's the Nottingham Carnival tomorrow, so expect some similar photos to appear on my photostream

Fav. A perfect capture of this lovely lady and her costume. You must have had a great time taking portrait shots of the participants in the carnival.

Did she give you permission to take this shot Phil, or jamaica. Nicely done.

[KWind]

Wonderful portrait! She's a beauty!

[Suzanne]

Lovely, you always have such fun filled portraits

@suzanne234 @kwind @gamelee @sangwann @kerristephens @fbailey hi everyone, I met this lady at the Nottingham Carnival today. I'd emailed this pic to my friend Margaret (who was a stranger a couple of years ago and is a member of the same troup) and Margaret had forwarded the pic to her. She said she loved the pic and it was one of the best pics ever of her :)
Oh Lee, don't give up the day job !!!
