Water Fire - Caught Up In The Moment

I zoomed in on one torch bearer who had her eyes closed, as I saw many others were doing the same thing. I am not certain if they felt uncomfortable being stared at by the crowd or if they were caught up in the moment of what they were doing and the sound of beautiful music being played over the PA system?

Wonderful pose... she does seem to be wrapped up in the moment!

[KWind]

Great shot! She seems very focused in her task!

[Amanda Wilder]

Great capture! Interesting that she was not the only one with her eyes closed.

[Danette Thompson]

She probably was in the moment and her closed eyes brings the viewer in to share that moment.

[Tammie]

Her eyes being closed really adds a lot of emotion to the shot. You did a great job capturing that.

I wonder if it was a prayer being said to go with the lighting ceremony...it could be an emotional moment for sure.
