African Queen - Steemit Portrait Contest #20 - By Jason Russell
In some African country's women use mud to protect their skin from the harsh sun. I took this image of a woman in Madagascar who had the most intricate sun protection I'd ever seen. The detailed work was a reflection of her status in the village as the 'Mayor's' wife.

Lovely portrait. So much emotional charge in her eyes.
And if you look very, very closely, you'll also see me reflect in her eyes too!
Eheheh the eyes are the doors for the soul
Great stuff! Also liked your 'Meeting the queen' post. It's great to see some other passionate, ocean loving people here on Steemit!
Thanks @bluebottlefilms. I've been travelling and taking underwater photo for over a decade so very cool to find a place to share along with some like-minded people.
