July 18, 2008 10:20pm This is SO fine but brings back a marvelous moment for me shooting at Long wood Gardens with Danielle, fifteen...the expression is as precious. I was beneath the bench and had to bump myself back an inch or two for perfect focus, both hands on the camera, her mom on the next bench, clueless. After a four-hour shoot, she lit up totally to my surprise like Sunday morning. I'm sorry! I just had to tell the story. This is gorgeous. Her shot is my fav!
Looks like there was not fill flash or bounced light ... or if so muted. With the light on her shoulder, I'd have expected her face to be more in the shadows. However you did it, it worked. Congratulations.
