50 mono portraits at 50mm : No. 20 : Football Smile

This is one of the stewards by the entrance to the "away turnstile" at the Macron Stadium, Bolton.

The job of the stewards is to monitor people entering the stadium, ensuring they enter the stadium in an orderly manner.

This young lady had an easy afternoon as only about 350 Bournemouth fans made the long journey to Bolton. It was a good journey for them as 10 men Bournemouth easily beat Bolton 2-1.

We are now bottom of the league with 5 points from 11 games, 5 points from safety ! We have no manager as Dougie Freedman was sacked the day before. When I say sacked, the official word was 'left by mutual consent'

The young lady is smiling as her colleagues were all having some banter with her as I grabbed a couple of shots.

My post processing was via GIMP auto Levels, and then an Agfa Film Emulation with a G'MIC filter
Beautiful portrait
