Julie (173) - Michelle


Wonderful to see such engagement! She assumed this stance of her own accord, which was such a joy to photograph.

The woman in the background is a compositional concern for me. If the figure were a reflection, that would be artful. I think the blur is sufficient to dull the interest in the background. I considered trying to crop the figure out, but needed to space for me subject to look into. I quite like the angle of approach to the head, even though a step to the left would have reduced the size of the figure in the background.

Oh well ... live and learn ...

Doesn't worry me too much because, as it only shows the hair and back, it could be a reflection. I also think it gives some balance to the shot.
