Sk8er Gurl

Year 2 Day 99
Went out for Sunday lunch for a friend's birthday and then wandered down to the riverside as it was such a nice day. This girl was sitting just behind our group for a few minutes, probably getting a rest. The Leeds Waterfront festival was on and we were heading to watch the Dragonboat racing but left it too late. Looks like there was some facepainting going on earlier too...

Better in large view!

Great candid shot, love the perspective and her expression. Nice one.

what a lovely candid shot
June 27th, 2011  
I agree with everyone. Great perspective and love that you caught her in a sideways glance. Great shot.

Love the perspective...makes me curious as to what she is looking at...and the chair in the background makes me also wonder...love pictures that make me think !
June 27th, 2011  
good one.. was this a sneaky ?
June 27th, 2011  
@andycoleborn well yeah, i kind of aimed behind me. I was sitting a few steps down facing toward the river.
June 27th, 2011  
@rich57 wondered if that was the case... you're far better than me at these backwards shots, tried a few times but always end up with the floor or sky haha
June 27th, 2011  
@andycoleborn well, I did take a few. this came out best, but even so you can see the lines aren't quite right but I felt her expression was what made it really...
June 27th, 2011  
@rich57 nah.. too hard on yourself, the converging lines in the fences work add to that the random IT style chair in the background...
June 27th, 2011  
Great catch with the over the sholder pose.
June 27th, 2011  
Love the perspective - her skates look larger than life and she looks as though she could conquer the world. Amazing stuff!

@deniseescovino @andycoleborn @momoflilly ah, that's a mobility scooter...
