Pride on the promenade

I took a series of photographs over the summer and thought it would be a great time to post them. This first shot was taken at the Pride on the Promenade celebration in Santa Monica, California. 

There had been a Mariachi band performing onstage. As they were finishing up, I noticed a woman dressed in a colorful costume nearby and asked if I could take her picture. There was light being reflected from second-story windows onto her face, which attributed to the overall look (there are no post effects). It turned out the woman was the next singer scheduled to perform. Her name is Rylo and she's quite good.
