Fiesta time in Malaga

The Feria celebrations date back to 1487, when Los Reyes Católicos, Isabella and Ferdinand re-conquered the city.

The annual Malaga fair in August is an exuberant week-long street party with plenty of flamenco and 'fino'(sherry).

People take to the streets, the women in flamenco dresses, to dance, drink and, generally, make merry.

This city fair is concentrated around Malaga's equivalent to London's Bond Street - Marques de Larios which is decorated with paper lanterns and flags and where horses replace cars as the means of transport.

Wow, amazing capture Iwona! I love how you used horizontal cropping and framing to focus on the various faces of the men and their elaborate adornment and headdress. Amazing detail, great clarity, and those nice golden tones really create a magical and festive atmosphere. The long depth of field works for this because none of the heads or things in the immediate foreground are out-of-focus, and that's great. The cropped face at the bottom right is a little distracting, perhaps including it would be good, OR you could crop it out completely, leaving more negative space at the left side, to focus on those two or three men. But really unique and so beautiful. I feel like I am there at the festival, thanks for sharing!

Czesc.
Interesujaca kompozycja. Te glowy wyszly bardzo efektownie. Duzo ciekawych detali. Moja strasza corka zapytala "co to za stwory?" ;)
Pozdrawiam.
