This is the "eye of a photographer" who sees light, eyes and a mind in action observed in the eyes! Then captures the magic moment! And shoots without thought of "oh gee whiz I don't have my super whizzie summi cracker jack sharp to the corners lens on!" A beautiful soft effect of "shooting from the shadow side"..... yes gentlemen the shadow side doesn't have to be harsh shadow as it can be as subtle as you see in this fine photograph. And that's one of the items that makes the picture work so well. Good on you with this one. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
