Congratulations! I've selected your image as winner in my Tones of One Colour challenge. Of the several challenges I've done, this decision was the hardest because of so many wonderful images. In the end, the mesmerising face of this woman and the story you told pushed your image to the top. It makes me want to go back to Africa and visit more indigenous tribes to learn more about their way of life. Again, Congratulations! I look forward to seeing more of your images soon.
