 Absolutely gorgeous winter evening. My sister and her hubby were here visiting for the holidays, and on our way back to my house for the evening, I decided to take the long way down Hawthorne back to the house instead of the freeway. As we started down toward the ocean we were met with an incredible sky at sunset. We stopped at a small park and found this young lady dancing for the camera - he had two flashes set up and was shooting her against that gorgeous sky.

PS - I have no idea who they are. But they made excellent props, don't you think? :-)

I should have known. A seven from me. I like the bell curve of activity, starting and ending with the benches.

lovely scene. Reminded me Picasso's "Girl on a Ball", for some reason

A California street/beach scene candid never looked so good!!!
This should have scored better, IMO.

The ingénue is a stock character in literature, film, and a role type in the theatre; generally a girl or a young woman who is endearingly innocent and wholesome. Ingenue may also refer to a new young actress or one typecast in such roles. The term comes from the French adjective ingénu meaning "ingenuous" or innocent, virtuous, and candid. The term may also imply a lack of sophistication and cunning.


hard to derive that from this shot but I love the scene
