Girl from Ipanema

Your comments/critiques appreciated.

delicious.

Did you flatten right out in front of her, Chris? That might explain the big grin! I love the foot and the line of the leg, the light on the bracelets and glancing off the top of her head, reflected in the metal walls...this really IS a delicious image!

I wasn't prostrate, but I was on my knees! This is on a "moving sidewalk", and she was such fun to take pictures with! Thank you both for your kindness.

Nice work! Is this digital? I thought I didn't like digital noise, as opposed to grain, but this looks great. I shall have to reassess my prejudices.

Thank you Julie, yes it is digital. I love film grain, it has a flavor of it's own while "noise" is just that, something to distract from the image (IMHO). So I try to "cook" the noise enough to make it taste better!
