(Update 12-17-15) After so many viewers chose the black and white version as their favorite, I revisited the color image (truth be told, I also like the B&W the best) and realized that I had, in fact, uploaded the wrong image, one that was way too heavy handed with a vignette. The second image, below, is the correct version, and is much better balanced.
Vignetting can be a powerful tool to direct focus, but overdoing it leads to a contrived scene.

Both are great, but I think I like the color version better. Very intriguing image.

Thanks, Robin, though, in retrospect, I actually would like to revisit the post-processing of it — I’m not as happy with this one as I am with the B&W.

Just realized today, Robin, that I had posted the wrong copy of the final color image. I’ve updated the post with the correct version (but kept the other one in to show how a vignette can be too heavy handed š)

I’d actually like to have seen you shooting it š

I tried my best to be inconspicuous – but given that we were both wide out in the open, I’m glad she had her back to me š Thanks, Laurie!
