Marina

A lovely shot, Brad!

Thanks, Ruud, for kind visit and warm words!

Marina is from Russia. Her accent shows she is pretty new to this country.

Months ago I took a picture of her working at Santa Monica Promenade while she was not aware of my photographing her. When I gave her a print of that photo recently, I could see her being thrilled.

Yesterday when I met her again at the Promenade she told me she's moving to Pennsylvania next week. So I took this farewell picture for her.

My wishes for Marina's well-being and best luck in her future!

This is a lovely casual portrait.  Nicely sharp face with great expression. Well framed. Effectively blurred BG. Regards, ifti.

Thank you, Ifti, for your warm comment on this photo! Appreciated!

this is very fine!
