This image, taken in Saint-Denis, France, presents a close-up, vertically oriented view of a person's right ear and adjacent neck area. The individual has dark skin. A single stud earring is affixed to the earlobe; it features two intertwined "C" shapes, consistent with a logo, encrusted with multiple small, reflective, faceted stones. Dark, braided hair is visible below and behind the ear. A portion of a dark blue, textile garment is present in the lower left quadrant of the frame. Illumination from the upper right casts a distinct shadow from the ear across the neck. The background is out of focus. No actions or interactions are depicted.
