Last night Jordana and I were on our way to get a bite to eat and meet up with some friends for a drink afterwards. As our subway stop approached in Brooklyn, I stepped out when she grabbed my arm and said, "Let's go to Coney Island!"

How could I say no to this woman? We took the train out and walked around for a bit, ate some hot dogs at Nathans and played a bit of skeeball. We only had like 25 points in tickets after playing a few games but the guy working there was nice enough to bend the rules and give us each a sherif badge.. which were worth like 30 points each!

It was a wonderful night. This shot is of Jordana on the way home

What a charm this shot has, it really stands out in this sea of average pictures masked by shallow messages and cliche frames. This one "stands alone", raw straight out of camera. And Jordana looks cool. Very, very nice shot. Congrats.

Hi

Deep in thought or just reading the tube map. Very good indeed with the background blurred out. Give the eye to the subject. Well done, you must be very pleased with this.

Hello Daniel, nicely done like your note. I always love pics with this kind of depth of field, the subject stands out. Also like public places for photography. Paul

ah yes, I know this shot. A good one. F/1.8 is ok.... I prefer my 1.4 though. :P
She kind of looks a little street-punk to me. I like it. Nice "Bokeh" as us photo nerds like to say for DOF.
JP

Sounds like you had a great time, and you were obviously inspired to take this wonderful shot of her! i like your framing and DOF with an 'empty' background.
Great photo, looks like from a movie to me (in a positive sense!)

GREAT WORK..VERY WELL SEE

Daniel,
The shallow DOF works well here. It's colorful and composed well.
By the looks on this womans face, you had a great time, I see the reflection of thought.
Good job!
Scott

Very nice portrait,Daniel! Very expressive! We can feel the quietness and the silence in this empty wagon! Great composition! Bravo! Michel

Hello Daniel,

Very moody shoot. Do you know what Jordana was thinking about? Good note too, I can imagine you on Coney Island having a so good time.
Your DOF is perfect.
TFS!

Marc.

an excellent subway photo Daniel :)
love the depth you captured here

I would have done the same for a girl like this !! She looks so sweet! cool .. realy cool. I would even have gone to the Bahama's if she had asked me ..But lets stay in the spirit off TL.. Skin tones are great.. soft light playing on her face.. the colours are ok aswell as the blurred background. TFS and points tomorrow

Very good "mood" shot, well composed and well done. Thanks,

Mario

This is a fantastic shot, the blurred background looks devine, really nice effect. As for Jordana, she makes for a great focal point. Very interesting attire and an insightful visage, really comes together for a wonderful focus! Your note is a great example of the perfect note.

Thanks for sharing Daniel! :)

Biance.

Excelente foto, la profundidad de campo y el color esta muy bien, y la mirada perdida de la modelo en reflexión esta muy bien.
Felicitaciones
Saludos.
