Jacqueline at Venice Carnival, February 2017

Hex colour reference: #1A467B
This rich, dark blue was one of the original Crayola crayons back in 1903, featuring under two names, Dark Blue and Prussian Blue. The Dark Blue name was discontinued in 1917, and in 1958 Prussian Blue was renamed to the current term, Midnight Blue.
Referring to the moon-filled sky at midnight, the first recorded use of midnight as a colour term in English was in 1915.

Thanks James. I was amazed at the accuracy – hard to be sure when you’re battling for a good position amongst so many photographers, some very eager!

She looks too pretty and perfectly made up to be real!

I suppose that is part of the appeal – a chance to step away from real life and be perfect

A lovely picture. I like masks. Made me wonder whether a mirror was just another kind of mask?
(Hmmm. Could be a story there)

Interesting. A subtle mask perhaps

I once wrote a short story called the mirror. But it was an entirely different concept. I need to mull over this one. Thanks for the (maybe) inspiration.

We’ll have a go at getting better ones when we visit (no costumes, mind you)
