The Girl in the Sunset, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

In November 2016, I had a chance to visit Philippines with my camera for the very first time. One of the islands on my way was Siquijor. The hospitality, goodwill of local people, amazing landscapes, and nature caused my photographic exploration a week longer than I expected. One of the places I visited pretty frequently was the Pizzeria Marco Polo owned by Luca Ranotti. This wonderful place apart from tasty Italian food, offers unforgettable sunrises and sunsets views. This girl was playing in the sunset on the sea shore, which gave me a great opportunity to use the natural sun-downing light to take few pictures … and this is the one I like most.
