Ivy’s Straw by Leanne Lindsay
Two Ponytails, by Shirren Lim inspired me to take this photograph of a little girl with pig tails enjoying playing with a straw. It was her birthday, and everyone was gathered around to celebrate but she was more interested in playing with the straw. This photograph was taken with my Nikon Z7ii and Sigma Art 24-70mm lens at 62mm, with an aperture of 2.8, a shutter speed of 1/100 seconds and an ISO of 160.

Pink Scene by Ignacio Amenábar
Every year the festival of the "La Virgen de la Merced" on Isla de Maipo brings together local people and tourists to see the parade of the emblematic Chilean characters. Looking the other way you can see people waiting for the parade, this is usually as attractive as the parade itself.
