This image was the best of several takes. The weather got nastier and the light spray drizzle was everywhere. I found the lens literary coated and decided to quit and keep this soft focus effect. Not only that but the sun hid even more and the result was a dull image. Have had better days. lol

Congratulations - this is a wonderful picture with timeless qualities. I could see it being on the cover of Life magazine of almost any year. I love her pose (great mimic), the position of her feet and where the umbrella lies in your crop. I love how they are both facing away from us. I'm guessing that there's a chance this won't be processed enough for some people here. I'm fine with its realism but suppose you could play around with the curves/up the contrast a little, perhaps bring out the red in her hair. But still, this is a wonderfully clean, evocative photo. Gets a ribbon in my book ;-)
