Aha!
First post and already some stunning winners, lilion!
Crisp and very bold contrast, love the images.
And unique subject matter! Not often that we get to see such cultural activities from sub-Saharan Africa!
The PP work you did on #3 is brilliant.
Well done.

Hi Lilion,

Really like the photos. A unique context and I enjoy the way you've captured the peoples intensity and expression.

Wow - what a stunning series!

A unique look at a world most of us only see glimpes of on documentaries.

Number 3 is my favourite - but the others are very good too.

Well done as a first post here! Look forward to more.

Cheers

Incredible. One of the best series i saw here. You've got a photographic eye. For me all of them could be in PPG or a magazine. Congratulations!!

Didnt know what to expect (I half-expected a WWF style ring) when I opened it and was pleasantly surprised! Great captures and I think you did a great job capturing these...
