Many of the photos I post are pushing my poor camera to the limits and it shows. I was taking some pictures last night and thought I should share at least one photo that was crisp. Do not tell my wife or I will be sleeping with the dogs tonight.

Deep in thought

I like the DOF you set up, blurring the background just enough to highlight the foreground, without making it unrecognizable. Thanks.

Thank you. She hates the camera and to actually have her not making faces was a rare opportunity. She has not seen this picture yet.
A tripod was used but no flash. Natural light only.
I almost darkened her hair to hide the grays but second guessed that idea. Wish she was turned a bit more so the shoulder would be less prominent but I did not dare move and was not going to have her pose and ruin the opportunity entirely.

I really like photo's where they are deep in thought and not worried about the camera. Nice job!

Thanks MWAC, This is not my expertise but advice from much better 'people photographers' like you is helping me improve. I can see everything I am doing wrong now LOL.
