"Must be talking to an angel, must be talking to an angel, must be talking to an angel

I must be hallucinating
Watching angels celebrating
Could this be reactivating
All my senses dislocating
This must be a strange deception
By celestial intervention
Leavin' me the recollection
Of your heavenly connection"
Eurythmics 1985

At the small OCKXFEST-event mainly students were present as it is situated right in the middle of the student-quarter of Antwerp (Ossenmarkt). Enjoying a bit of music, a drink and a chat with friends in the most welcome spring-sun. This beauty stood (out) in the middle of the crowd, and I patiently waited for a gap to open so I could have a good shot. The picture might suggest a wisper, but I can assure you that talking had to be on a raised level ;-) over the drum 'n bass music.
This is a crop of the original picture, to get rid of unwanted/distracting objects.
The ISO 200 setting resulted in rather grainy picture, so I ran it through NeatImage.

Thanks to the members going through the effort of making a WS of this picture. I'll contribute with my own ;-) a brighter version of the original.

I wonder why you did not get more comments. This is a great shot and the expression says it all! Excellent capture! The only improvement would be lighting that is not quite balanced. Needs a bit more light on the angel facing you!

You should have more points for this. The eyes tells it all.

200 ISO en grainy ? Mmm... da's raar, Walter.
Ik ben het ermee eens dat een beetje meer licht op haar gezicht beter is. Edoch... die barbiepop die er in een WS van gemaakt is... yuk!
Ik bewonder je manier om van die "gestolen" portretten te maken - die zien er uiteraard altijd heel ongedwongen uit, en da's perfect. Compo is hier fantastisch uitgesneden, met het gezicht van haar gesprekspartner erbij. Cool.
TFS - ook voor de memories aan Eurythmics! Mmm... Annie Lennox ;o)).

A very sweet face, great portrait.
