This is Мария Бабиенко (Masja or Maria Babenko), a female sailor of the Russian frigate 'Shtandart' (the 'Shtandart' is a replica of the, in 1703 built, original 'Shtandart'). She has tried to frighten me with her 'Pirate' outfit, but her charming smile had a contrary effect.

She gave me permission to take some photographs of her. I've sent this one, taken on August 9th, 2016 in Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands, as an email-attachment to her homeport email-adress in St.Petersburg, and on the day (September 3rd, 2016) that the Shtandart had arrived back in her homeport, she has sent me an email to express her thanks. You're very welcome, Masha/Maria!

A very pretty girl Mr. C. and the outfit adds to the charm especially on that frigate!

I hope she didnt get you to 'walk the plank' for any wrong doing! ha ha This is a good capture for the people gallery and I like how you got the ropes in the background to add to the authenticity of the period. Well done!

A lovely pirate she is and she might even start a new fashion in St. Petersburg. Very nice capture Ms. Babenko, Cornelius.

This is a great portrait with the rigging behind her. If all pirates looked like her, sea-faring would be a very pleasant activity, indeed!

She sure has a lovely way about her, and your capture with the lens is wonderful. I'm glad you were able to share this one with her. tigs=^..^=
