 This shot girl was not finding many costumers on a Monday night on Bourbon Street, so she was texting on her phone instead. She has bright red hair - though I saturated the image slightly, it's only to bring the color true to what it actually looked like.

I considered a tighter crop to eliminate the alley entrance and the pizza shop on the left, but decided to keep it to give a better sense of the lack of people on the normally busy street and keep some additional color.

Main subject looks a little OOF to me but a good capture all the same.
