Oktoberfest -2010

Every year, my husband and I go to
our friend's house for his annual
"Oktoberfest". There is nothing better
than enjoying the festive Bavarian band,
eating delicious German food, drinking all
kinds of beer and most of all..enjoying the
company of wonderful friends. This is Al
who was watching his wife dancing!!

    This is really well done, I think portraits are the most difficult form of art and you clearly have mastered them.

    Awesome, Hilda....look at the pride glowing on his face. They must be a great couple. But, why wasn't he dancing with her?

    Thank you CAROL for stopping by. His wife dances in a German "costume" and it wasn't his turn to dance with her, so of course I had my camera to catch the love in his eyes.

    Capturing the expression in a portrait is one of more difficult things. You have succeeded. Take care with beansprouts, some people are dying in Germany.
    Capturar la expresión en un retrato es una de las cosas más difíciles. Tú has tenido éxito.
    Ten cuidado con los brotes de soja está muriendo gente en Alemania.
