6.17 Pure beauty

I feel a little guilty. I was walking to meet some friends and I almost bumped into this young lady, I shot instinctively, without having time to raise the camera, without touching the lens and it was set at f: 4,5... pure luck!

That is a gorgeous black and white image.

Wonderful shot -- she must have dressed knowing that you'd present her in black and white :)

Amazing when these things come together. That could have been a model shoot.

The low perspective truly adds to the street feel and captured action of your composition. Fav!

[Chris Johnson]

Nice job! Would have thought you set this all up for the shot. Really like the way the wind blows her hair.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@chris667 it could, but I wouldn't be forgiven the less-than-sharp eyes... 😉

@joysabin thank you a lot for the comment an the fav!
@cjphoto yes, that came as a surprise, I didn't even notice it when I pressed the shutter release!

[Yao RL]

Coco chanel comes into my mind.
