Kozmic Blues, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

Back again in the near past, February, at the Carnaval de Paris : "Promenade du Boeuf Gras, l'Arche de No�".

The crowd is such that at Carnival in Paris, late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, it stops the movement of vehicles on the Grands Boulevards on Shrove Tuesday and Thursday from mid-Lent.
After 45 years of oblivion, the initiative for the revival of Carnival of Paris is taken by Basil Pachkoff in 1993. He resurrects the procession from the Promenade du Boeuf Gras in 1998 and the Queens laundresses Mid-Lent in 2009

I like this image a lot. You have not only captured a moment but also something of the passion and sensuality of this woman. The POV adds dynamism to the shot too.

Great work.

Bonsoir Frederic
Une photo qui m廨ite largement plus � mon humble avis. Cadrage en diagonal original, superbe contraste B&W et un visage pas forc幦ent agr嶧ble mais super expressif.

you have right to think so, but i am still smiling at the goddess watching chippendales. your resemblences go direct to the point :)

Compared to the "Vamos a Ballar" picture next to, it's fascinating to see how colour vs. bl/w + another title completely changes the mood of the picture. Both are terrific, of course.
