Location: home

Aperture: F 4.5

 - I had to use high ISO to shoot this in natural-evening low-light (no studio, lights, or bg paper).
- Used wide aperture and blurred the background (carpet) in PP, quite a bit actually, to emphasize her face.

Participating in FreeStudy for the first time. I noticed in challenge-history that usually landscapes do well in Free-Study. Hence, I am a bit nervous about this entry.
