Photo Bomber

I set up my camera on a tripod, decided on a composition and worked out the exposure, then it was just a matter of waiting for a few people to enter the scene in the right spot to give it a little life. Just when the required people were in place this little girl, curious about what I was doing, stepped right into the middle of the frame. I was mildly aggravated that she had stepped in at precisely the wrong time but she left, I took a few more frames and called it a night. Imagine my surprise when I got home and discovered that her frame was easily the best one I had taken, even though she is blurred and poorly lit. The eye contact and her pose in mid step make it for me. Serendipity.

She does make this! I agree her eye contact and movement is fabulous. Fav.

So cool that you posted this instead of the cleared way one...

[Mags]

Aww!

[Helge E. Storheim]

Yes, she makes the shot :-)

[Casablanca]

I think you were spotted!

[Joanne Diochon]

Sometimes you plan, and sometimes you've just got to be ready to accept what the universe sends you. And say thank you for a great shot.

[Jaap Meijer]

She gives the shot a personal touch; nice!

[Milanie]

This really turned out nicely with your little pink-booted photo bomber

[Velina]

This turned out so well, just perfect

[Carrie Shepeard]

She is perfect for this photo! Great timing.

[LManning (Laura)]

This is terrific. The light and atmosphere are wonderful, and she is such a bold little munchkin.

[amyK]

Agreed. Makes a compelling image.

Sweet photobomb plus I love the light bursts and the HDR editing
