Whitney

A "snapshot" that is a "portrait." This is my favorite type of

portrait: not planned, not staged, not posed, natural light.

Love the DOF of this portrait. Superb moment captured.

She looks like a woman who would be right at home in a 15th century Renaissance painting

It is a very nice 'capture' as they say. It's also a bit flat and blue, which can easily be fixed.

Thanks for the comments everybody.  Jack, I had the same feeling about this one.  Les, I was wondering about my monitor's adjustment.  I made the photo somewhat dark on my monitor because some folks looking at my website said the images were too light. I will play with the color before seriously printing this one. Thanks for the input. 

Hi Steve,

Her look reminds me of renaissance paintings - truly captivating. Your portraits are incredibly sensitive.

Four years later I am at a family gathering at the same place and talking to Whitney's mother, Denise.  I am struck at how much Whitney looks like her mother (and how photogenic they both are).  Here is Denise as we were talking that day.
