Description

This is my favorite picture taken thus far. It turned out almost exactly as I saw it in my head. I guess it was a combination of a portrait with a little hint of a candid photo; the friend of mine in the picture was smiling at a little boy just out of the shot as I snapped the picture. I used a flash to light the foreground. Modifications include removal of stray hairs, skin touch-ups, and the use of selective color, brightness/contrast, and color balance mask layers to correct the flash and reduce the amount of white light reflected from the skin. (Canon EOS 10D EF 50mm 1.4 @ f/1.4 for 1/200s. ISO 400 with the built-in flash) [Next Image] [Previous Image]

DOF is a little too shallow for (makes her left shoulder a bit of a distraction), but I love the feel of this. I can see why it's your favorite. The background of lights is wonderful
