This year I decided to participate to the National Geographic Photography Contest, Italian Edition. I submitted a photo taken during my trip to India in early 2006. With my great honour, this was selected as a winner in the Persons category. This picture together with winners of the other three categories is published in the September edition of the National Geographic Italy.
29.12.2007: (update) in the beginning of December, the National Geographic published the results of the final phase of the contest where winners from various countries competed for the top-level positions. My picture got a wonderful honorable mention.

Sergio–
I stumbled upon your site from the comments left on the developer’s site for the theme I’m using for my own blog. This picture greeted me when I came in. What a fantastic shot! Such vibrant color. Nicely composed in “thirds” too.
Great photography, man, and a much deserved award.

Sergio,
Congratulations on your award! That is something that most of us can only dream of. And your photo certainly deserves it. What an insight into the life of these women in India, and how comical to our eyes.
