[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A candid shot... as all of my portraits in Denmark. She was a memebr of an audience of a street show in Copenhagen's pedestrian mall. I only watched half of it. Half of the time, I was scouring the audience for a potential subject.

Hello Manuel, this is a wonderful candid shot, the lady is indeed beautiful and expressive. Excellent sharpness and DoF too!

Marvellous candid shot Manny, the audience can be a lot more entertaining than the show, certainly is the case here for you. Great use of DOF to remove any distractions from behind the subject. And the clarity is great. TFS

You always find a beauty in the crowd Manny. This lady is just that, a beauty. I like the spontaneity of this candid shot.

Yes, she's a black beauty very special captured from your camera dear Manuel! Excellent job in this portrait.

As beautifull she is, the biggest pouwere is comming out of your technics,... and the warm natural lightning in withs you took it.
If you minde.

I took somany "good" piuctures, but when the light is poor, forget the whole thing.

You are scarrying me Manny...When i am doing my street show with jenny and...should we be looking out for photographers then hehe. I woudl not mind fos sure and i am sure this girl didn't either. Especially if she sees the result. I wonder if she knew she had her picture taken my such talented and gifted photographer.

Fantastic candid and natural shot :) Sharp and with no other distraction than beauty :)

Beautiful again! You really have the eye for interesting people in the crowd. Congratulations on that!
Composition is perfect, as well as excellent chosen DOF. Great job done, TFS

hi,
how did you pick her ? i see she turned her head away from performers so you can take the shot, i'm guessing you where waiting for her to turn around with your eye in viewfinder and finger on the shutter ... hehe ...
anyways ... great photo, no doubt about it !

peace

I wish a crowd of that beauties. Great shot and composition (diaphragm) I think the chin is a little to dark. If you light that up here face is even more beautiful.

Hi Manuel

A superb portrait, with excellent sharpness, & wonderful use of a narrow dof. I like the slight tilt of the head, & absence of a direct gaze / eye contact.

Hi Manny,
Indeed a wonderful protrait. And her face looks so relaxed and not paying attention at you at all. Veru spntaneous portrait.
Well done!

take care, Stef

hey manuel!
great subject, i love candid photography, and although at times it doesnt turn out the way you wanted to. it's great anyway. gotta love the natural expression on her face, the curly hair, her rich eyes and the blurred bacckground.

i admire your photography very much!
cheers
-Bart

Homogeneity of the colours. She's not your most beautiful model but this his a great shot. Clearly, she's not posing, so her expression is full of sincerity :)
I like to tear away pictures of the people.

Jules

Great shot ! so much in a face , shades and volume ...
congratulations !
Thanks you for sharing !
