A very particular photo: the fashion show is still far away, but we find ourselves in front of a magical make-up moment, where our expectations become real. An excellent close-up of the boy with his blue face, sharp and well taken. The make-up artist acts as a natural and enveloping frame. They are particular shots that do not leave me indifferent.

A particular charm, the finishing touches of the embroidered parts, the light of a Venetian sunset and in the end a great mystery. The very personal post-production leads the photographer to create a unique and non-repeatable atmosphere. The textbook composition and high quality shooting.

I see this mask entering the landscape and in all respects being part of the picture. Excellent separation between two colors (ochre and white). I really like this position of the person, because he seems to be waiting for something and he is certainly at his ease. Field reduction helps to see the figure better.

A different carnival, but it is very fascinating. Day of the Dead is a Mexican celebration relating to the remembrance of the deceased; of pre-Columbian origin, it takes place in the first days of November, in conjunction with the Catholic celebration of the dead. A smaller event than the Venice carnival, but it is no less interesting. On the contrary. I find it very rich and very suggestive .. Great shot by the photographer who captured the moving crowd ..

I really enjoyed this convivial moment of the Venetian Carnival. The evening shot and search for the right light and gimmick. The atmosphere of the past is completely inside this picture, nothing superfluous. The blue hues of the blue hour are spectacular.

In this contest I want to see your photos of carnivals. It can be anything from the famous carnivals like in Venice or Rio de Janeiro, to local carnivals in smaller towns, where we can see the people, the fantastic floats and the festive parades of the carnival. Black and white or colour photos are fine.
