Young woman with Mardi Gras mask

[RBSinTo]

This was taken last summer on Pride Sunday, here in Toronto.
As I was leaving the Gay Village and returning to my car, I noticed an attractive young woman in an interesting costume, and asked her if I could take a couple of street portraits. We walked down a side street into a shaded area where I took two or three environmental shots with a 35, and then switched to my 105 to get a head and shoulders portrait to accentuate her beauty. As she posed she playfully brought her Mardi Gras mask up to her face and I got this shot.

I love the framing.

Did you get one pic with the masque on her eyes ? We could see her mouth which seems to be nicely designed.

Because of her skin texture, I am not sure she's so young. I could be wrong, couldn't I ?

Francis,
Thanks for commenting.
Did have one other shot with mask over eyes, but didn't like it, and digitally manipulated the slide into the recycling bin.
I didn't ask her age, so don't know.

Very nice framing and nice combination of colors. Almost looks like a painting. Beautiful portrait of a sharp lady.

A great portrait of a beautiful woman!
I am surprised to see so much noise at ISO 100?
