One Look... (and I was
hooked).
Today I did a conversion of this photo I took in 2007 while attending the
Maryland Seafood Festival at Sandy Point State Park. I'm afraid back
in those days I was not taking pictures at a high resolution or saving
larger dimensions. I increased the image pixel count and dimensions
today via Photoshop in preparation for a conversion since the incidental
portrait has been a favorite of mine.
The image was cropped from a larger picture that included her Mom who
was not facing my camera. It would probably be more forthright to say that
I was trying to get a candid shot without being detected. I was fortunate
however, that my lens caught the child's line of sight squarely towards me for
an instant. I was taken aback when I (either correctly or incorrectly),
perceived a sort of wisdom and intelligence emanating from her little
half smile expression, almost as if words were not needed for
communication. From a distance, I fell in love at that instant.
Photoshop conversion, SPM.
