Hand

What message is the hand conveying?

Is the water warm or cold?

Is she shy?

It's all about body language

I like the framing and the metallic tones captured on the statue.

I must admit the background really bothers me. The bokeh (spelling)

is very distracting. What lens and aperture did you use?

If you are able to re-shoot this photo with a wide open, fast aperture lens

you might be able to blur the background out alittle more and give it a more

creamy, blended look.

August, thanks for your comments.

Shot this one with a 55-200mm at 200mm and f/5.6, which was max apperture at that FL. I agree with you that I would have liked a little bit more bluring of the background, but this was the max I was able to achieve with this lens without photoshopping it.

Regards
