 Waikiki Beach, Oahu

This very sweet woman was walking down the beach with that huge smile on her face making eye contact with anyone who dared look back at her.. her spirit was just so joyful I couldnt help but be drawn in. I was so hoping she would turn around and face me as she walked by... and she did!!

** post challenge **

Thanks so much for taking time to comment on my picture during and post challenge. Comments are truly what I strive for.. a nice score doesnt hurt either but its the comments that I learn from.
I know this shot was a little soft on her face.. I had some gremlins messing with my iso!! (damn gremlins) lol
There was another shot of a man that was much sharper but this womans energy just sang to me and I loved the composition so I entered and I got the score it deserved... I still adore the shot ;) .. again thanks :)

Well, I gave this an 8. Fooey on those who think everything has to be in a studio with perfect makeup and lighting.

I wish she wasn't squinting so much. Otherwise, nice use of color, comp & bokeh.

I like the blue green colors, and the shallow DOF, but is the woman in complete focus? Nice shot otherwise.
