This woman was singing to our group as we celebrated the culmination of our four-week visit to Cuenca. I used a relatively short telephoto lens (90mm) to make the picture from well across the room, and later cropped it into a tall vertical frame. She has a powerful voice, and at this moment, she has closed her eyes and tilts her head back as she reaches full volume. Her voice filled the room, and the tall frame symbolizes the strength of her performance. Her red scarf and dark background add to the dramatic tone of this portrait.
