- it illustrates that we always want to see what is hidden. Even the words on the shirt.

The person involved is a family member, so I look at this shot with a good sense of the personality of the subject.

It would be interesting to see it through eyes that don't know the subject.

I used my AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G FX lens. At 75mm equivalency on my camera it makes a nice, inexpensive portrait lens.

I can understand why she is not wanting a photo taken at that time. She obviously is not feeling dressed for it, and her hair isn't fixed up for a portrait. Probably has no makeup on either. I would do the same thing.

One of three taken from my chair when she walked round the corner.

If you knew her you would know exactly how right you are.

She likes the photo, and I have her permission to post it.
