Portrait of Noemí. I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the

right moment to get this backlight.

Esteve,

You have me confused.  You seem proud of the lens flair on her face.  All of my photographic career this has been something to avoid.  I can remember it appearing in photo magazines in the list of common errors.

Jerry, thanks a lot for your comment :)

Yes, I'm actually proud of it. I'm sure that a perfectly focused (this is done with a tilt lens, so the bottom part is de-focused, in camera), flare-less shot would be far less interesting. I actually have a couple of them, and I come to like this one the most.

The flare was pursued, is not a mistake, at least not an unintended one. I wanted it there, and there it is.

Best regards,

Esteve
