This lady was stalking me. Everywhere I went, I would look-up and there she was. I thought about calling the park police, but then again, you do not want to destroy a young girl's dreams.
OK, so I might be fantasying just a little. OK, a whole bunch.
I had seen this young lady several times while walking around; and, although she is very pretty, what really struck me was how she always seemed to stand or sit in a very graceful way. It was like someone was directing her during a photo session.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, 70-200mm f/2.8 at 200mm, shot at ISO 400, f/5.6 and 1/250 of a second.
Very nice. Her gracefulness comes through. I like the simple background and the rather dark, saturated colors. Good job.

Larry I like this image alot.
ReplyDeleteWas there any planning in the image as far as where she sat or did you take this after she had sat down at a random location?
The reason I ask is I like the subtle nuances of the light here. It looks like you could have put a lot of thought into her location.
Nice shot either way!
Agree with Brian. This does not look like a grab shot. It makes you think that you have her posing for you. I know that you said that she always seemed to position herself in a pose, but, do not forget, you noticed that. Many photographers would only notice that she is a good looking lady. Nice shot, especially considering that you are essentially presenting a street photo.
