EL Gran Poder Festival 2006 (1)

By philipr

Ive not posted anything for a while as have been out trekking and climbing, but managed to fit in a day taking photos at the biggest festival in La Paz Bolivia - Gran Poder (Almighty Power). Over 20 thousand dancers parade through the streets in traditional costumes and the whole spectacle is a parade of colour - so of course I choose to post a B and W shot!. I choose this because it is different to any other Gran Poder photo ive seen. I will be posting more on this which will be very colourful.

Interested to hear what people think of this. I like the angle , the blur adds movement but I wish the face area was a bit sharper.
