We were on the rooftop of the Mare Magnum mall where the sun was working on setting it self to the other side of the world. On the rooftop there is a very long, low fountain surrounded by aquamarine colored walls with a wonderful view of the plaza and surroundings.
Ahem. A little while later I was called away by nature. Upon my return, I saw my friend speaking with this young woman who happened to be sitting on the edge of a corner wall. He had taken some pictures of her and a conversation ensued.
She appeared timid and retiring.
I saw her and immediately liked her face.
I was introduced and we explained what we do, which often is hard to explain. I then asked if I could take her picture.
After taking a few photos of her, she liked what she saw and allowed us to take more.
My friend spoke with her, I shot pictures. I spoke with her, he shot pictures.
Her name is Noelia. She’s been working as a clerk for a few months in a specialty store near the port and living in Barcelona for 4 years. You see, she comes from a province in Spain called Asturias.
How wonderfully odd it was to meet someone with the name Noelia in the Christmas season. No?
So, there! You now have a little history of our accommodating and wonderful subject.
I was excited about my photo results and I ask YOU what you think?
I shot these photos with a Nikon D80, 18-70mm lens. There was no zooming. I cropped little and lightened little the 2 pictures.
My friend has suggested that I change the pictures perspectives. If I do that, then I feel I have strayed away from my objective and that is to minimize alterations on a photo.
You see, someday I want to make that almost PERFECT photo.
However, if YOU had taken the photo, what would you have done?
So, I wonder and ponder. If some of you or any of you can give me your opinions, I wait with abated breadth.
