[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The last day of the carnival and the following Monday, the first of the Lent is a traditional celebration in Greece. This time I found myself in one of those small villages in the Thessalian fields. It is customary to light huge fires and dance around them, dressed up.

Here's one of them in her traditional outfit indulging in the Dionysian remains of the custom.

Happy Lent to all of you and thanks for stopping by.....

Hi Argiris

I like the high contrast, graphism, & silhouettes of the veiled woman, against the fiery bg. Good colour, sharpness and framing. Congratulations!

dear Argiris,
artistic contrast and combination of the impressive fire and the charming silhouette of the lady.
maybe in the mind of this lady, enthusiastic fire is blazing up like this shot...
thank you,
Akihisa

Good evening Argiris,

this is top notch shot! I love the black silhouette of the woman in the FG and fire in the BG; they create this splendid contrast and make this image a bit more dramatic.

Strong composition and wonderful realization.

Best regards,

Stasa

Hi Argiris

good light and shadows

Hello Argiris,

Ciao Argir


I lost them here!
Nice visual, I love photos of this suit,
I am trying to make some shots in industry
where there are many boiler steel melting and
issues like this that shows me you.
The beautiful figure of the person and the dance of fire
as Bg.
From very good taste and excellent visual!
Greetings my friend ...

Sergio

Ciao Argiris, fascinating composition with wonderful silhouettes against fire, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio
