...one happy shopper

Clearly a young woman satisfied and fulfilled with her shopping experience!

On a technical note, I think it might be cropped a bit too tight for my taste.  I think showing the woman in her environment (particularly if the environment is obviously some sort of shopping mall) might reinforce the satisfaction and help explain the look of fulfillment on her face.  In  general, I like subjects well placed in their environment, and I think the modern trend is to crop too tight.  Even so, this is a good capture.

First and foremost, thank you for your kind words.

You are right about showing more of the surrounding as in an enviromental portrait. This was taken just outside of Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. The original shot doesn't even show the exit door of the mall but I wish I included that to start with. By the way she is my granddaughter.

Roger, she is a very lovely girl. The shot is spot on, tool

(But just as a side note) by conversing with you through critiques, I had no idea you were old enough to be a Grandfather! I would have guessed you to be maybe 30 to 35. Funny how preconceived notions come to be! Right?

All the best, Beth

I like this picture a lot. I like that we know what it is about without seeing the entire environment.  I like the simplicity of the background and the colors all going together. Even her shoes match the surroundings.

Ciao Roger!

Not my kind, but it's a good photo. I appreciate the slight abstraction.

Maybe the crop is slightly too tight.

Happy moment well shot.(:-).
