Just a little humour to lighten your day.
This is a 10 year old scan of an even older negative (hence the small size).
Taken at the fiesta of the Feria del Rosario in Ferregudo, Spain. There is a male rider in the saddle and generally the ladies sit sideways on the rump but this one chose to sit astride presenting me with this oportunity.
I just casually entered this in DPReview's "Just too funny" challenge and despite its poor technical quality, it won (to be honest, the competition wasn't very strong).
Taken with an Olympus OM2n (super camera) and Sigma 28-80mm.

Funny shot to start the day off right. A once in a lifetime photograph that would always carry me back to the time and place.

I think she should just wear a longer dress - clear down to the ground - big improvement that would be!!! Good eye, Vic, thanks for the smile. but hope you didn't show this to the lady!!!!

Thanks for the laugh. This is a great catch. Good eye, Vic. I guess we just never know what we look like to others!

This is too funny, nice catch. Took me a second to figure it out too. I wonder if they realize how they look from that angle??
