This is more as an experiment. No extra lightning than the one present. It´s

shot with a 50mm normal, focused on her eye at f 3.5. The idea was to

make the book unsharp, while her eye was sharp. I classified it as street,

because this is for her a natural thing to do, and my role was to capture the

situation and telling a story about a girl found of reading.

I am quite interested in pictures of people reading. I find that they can say a lot about individuals and cultures.  I very much like this one. It is a very intimate picture. I think your experiment was a great success. I can feel her interest in what she is reading because you have focused on her eye and not on the book. Of course, it gets me wondering what the book that interests her so much is about. All the best, ed 

Thanks for liking. I think that the effect of making the book "abstract" is what make this picture work. The picture tells a story about a girl consumed by her book, we as viewers can only speculate what she is reading..
