Candid Portrait
Posted By: MRRiley, 09-20-2007, 05:31 AM

A candid portrait of Freda, my mother's best friend. I don't usually shoot portraits but when I saw the way the light was hitting her as she watched a concert in the park I just had to take advantage of it.



I was VERY pleased. Shot has been cropped ever so slightly and a vignette applied.

Aren't you glad you did? Wonderful portrait, facial expression, focus, detail, colors - well done Sir!

That sucks, I certainly felt it was worthy. Don't quite understand what they're looking for sometimes...

Meh ... who cares if it doesn't make it in the Pentax Gallery ... i bet the majority of the members on this forum could get the opportunity to come across the chance to take a portrait shot like that.

I know I am one of them.

What I have seen on the Pentax Gallery ... they tend to put the most saturated and over-sharp images in there ... I think sometimes the people who approve the images a lot of the time miss the good ones.
