Getting Ready to Ride

I have been challenged in the Get Pushed - week 2 to take a portrait shot.
This is one of my attempts, people are not my forte!
There were a small group getting ready to go for an out ride when I got back from mine and I asked if I could take some pictures of them.

@elke And she's a stranger as well!

I find portraits very difficult too - I think it's partly that to get good pictures of most things you take more than one, and that's much harder with people who don't want to play that

[Karen H]

I hear ya about those portraits. Was she a stranger?
Nicely done.

[Sally Ings]

@tigerdreamer Never met her before. She was just there to go horse riding in the vineyards and orchards!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It is hard to pictures of people- but bravo for you! And someone you don't know as well! It's a very nice shot too!

[Sue Wilde]

The shot works well and good for you to pick on a stranger

[Sharon]

Great portrait. Beautifully done.

[Livia]

She looks just a tad worried! You've captured that expression very well. Good job! 8)

[GPix]

People are hard to photograph, specially candids of strangers!! You have done well

[Bobbyj]

very lovely close up!

[Sally Ings]

@myautofocuslife HaHa Livia, maybe it was because she was signing the indemnity form! Thanks though :-)

[Chris]

Beautiful shot - love her concentration and the light. Awesome that you did this.

[Louie]

Love that she's clearly concentrating on something else. The lighting is great.

[EvaHenriette]

I really like this shot. She looks like she's contemplating something important. Well done.
