This is the nicest woman, I met at a furniture store. The minute I saw her clear blue eyes, I knew I had to capture her. She was kind enough to pose for this photo up at the register. With her vibrant hot pink tweed jacket, colorful necklace, and all of the colors of the wall and furniture, I had to desaturate it to neutralize the whole image.

There is something very awkward about this image. I feel like she is in my face (overly aggressive) and I'm not sure if it is due to her face or the border. I really want her to back up a little. I really think its the border doing this...
There's something so striking about this portrait! It has a 3-dimensional quality and those eyes!!!! They seem to take her right off the page! Perfect photo for this challenge!
