Great candid capture Jarek, I really love how rich and vivid the colors came out here. Great focus and depth of field, and the way this is framed and cropped vertically tells us right away that the woman with the pink hair is the focus of the shot (and of course she is hard to miss ;) ). Great clarity with lots of detail, I like the focused gaze captured on her face, she looks like she is really absorbed in watching something (skateboarding, in this case). Only things that bother me though are the overexposed umbrella and white object at the lower left (I am guessing that was someone's shoulder?). They tend to distract from the main subject. Perhaps metering the shot when you take it so that it is exposed for the white parts (the umbrella and the shoulder in the foreground) will help, then you can go into Photoshop or another editing program and select the darker parts of the shot (the non-white parts) and just brighten them with levels. That way it will be even. Excellent facial expression and moment caught there though, snazzy hair ;)

Nice shot, with good perspective.
