Description

She had her back to me. I set the focus, willing her to turn around. A man walked up behind her. He must have said something I couldn't hear. She recognized his voice, spun around fast, smiling, and gave him a big hug. The man was not interesting. Just a guy in street clothes, important only to her, his back to the camera. I loved her spontaneous smile, pure pleasure at seeing her friend.

What a marvelous picture, and like Andrea, I see the written element as the beginning of a brilliant short story. I'm in an internet cafe as I write this--a rather swanky, photo-resistant cafe--and the image as you've presented it fits rather nicely with the colorful interior of this place. I like that! I love her expression and the spontaneity of this. Again, fantastic work!

I remember her SO well,and how we talked about this shot and everything about that particular place. Brides on their wedding days glow with a light that transcends everything else, and you caught this SO well. (and, she was wearing RED shoes!!)

Wonderful capture and a big open space is lovely too, just enought to add a suitable poem what you so good at making.

Thank you Marilyn. I thought she might be attending a wedding. But if she was the bride and the man was in street clothes he most likely was not the groom. Hmmm, perhaps there's a story there after all.
