A Little Blush

Aging has not taken away the ability of this pleasant woman to blush a

little bit out of embarrassment -- something I found rather charming and

hope I captured here. Your ratings and critiques are invited and most

welcome. If you rate harshly or very critically, please submit a helpful

knowledge to help improve my photography. Thanks! Enjoy! John

A really beautiful shot, John!

Thanks Ruud.

Very good shot of real instances in time. You have captured her expression and the essence of her noble character very well. I think you took this shot very fast like Robert Capa. Excellent photography...regards

Well, Dara, you are correct, this was taken quickly. I was moving and so was she (see blur in her right hand -- on our left).

 

And I did indeed catch 'a moment'. She really is a 'beautiful' woman -- noble if you will.

 

I'm happy this photo pleases you; I like it very much. I wondered whether to retouch her rotting teeth but decided against it. They are there, caries and all.

 

I think her expression carries all. Cartier-Bresson admired Capa as a great photographer-adventurer, but I don't think he would admire me, regrettably.

 

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts, I appreciate it, especially the flattering comparison.
