Good intention, bad result...
I made a shot last year of this little girl sitting behind the group; you can see it here.

This year, I found her to give her the print; she have been so surprised and joyfull first, but the others were borrowing her, asking to see the print and laughing.In fact, they were jalous, but offended by this, she sat under the sacred banyan, holding the picture against her, hiding it to the others.I proposed a group snap to decontract the mood and divert the attention from her, but she was definitively offended.I was not very proud of me...

Bambu jogged dance II. Ubud
A serie now, about something you cannot see in the tourists-made-for performances. You will excuse the quality, I used the 350d to have a better range, the light was poor, I did not crop any of the snaps, wanting to keep the feeling of the moment.It is late, a small bamboo gamelan is playing; only balinese here, men overall.A legong dancer come (it's outside) and choose one man in the circle to dance.Some refuse some do like if they refused and agree, some are pushed by friends and escape, funny...
ISO 1600In the dance, the woman do all to seduce the man, to attrack him, but finally push him away and attrack him again...fascinating demonstration of feminine physical attraction on men in a very suggestive way.
