A candid shot of a lady reading a book while waiting for her kid in the pool. This was shot inside the Seaworld compound in San Antonio, Texas. Thank you very much for viewing.

    Very nice light and BW processing. The whole scene feels very natural and relaxed... clap.gifthumb

    I think the shot would have been even better without the fence in the background, and maybe with a smaller dof to separate the planes, but.. hey, if we were removing all the annoying fences around we would all meet in jail :D!

    That was funny, Andrea. Hehehe. I think I can do that on another edit using an artificial bokeh. I have to extract her first so the bokeh would look natural. A little bit of work but doable with 3 cups of black coffee. rolleyes1.gif As always, thanks for viewing! thumb.gif

    I like that you chose to do this in BW. As for the fence. I think it adds to the photo. Symbolism -- baby confined in a stroller -- adult confined behind a fence.

    Maybe just mask out the sharpening of the background? ne_nau.gif
