- September 2011
Madagascar featured strongly in this month’s entries, but it wasn’t the striking scenery or endemic lemurs that caught the eye, it was the infectious smile and warmth of the local Malagasy population. Maria captures this perfectly in this striking portrait of a young boy – the composition and focus is perfect, surrounded by his friends (and their hair), you can’t help by share the moment with him and Maria. It’s good to break up the wildlife and landscape winners!
