Interesting. It definitely conveys the "at a reception, unwinding with
a drink, talking to someone I find attractive" feeling. It's a visually
compelling shot as well. I wondered about the extreme contrast however,
so I down loaded it and fiddled in PS. The histogram is really funny -
almost nothing in the middle and flies off with peaks at both ends. The
lower contrast version doesn't work as well, however, so "good call"
Frank. I also like the shallow DoF choice. It really emphasizes the
eye contact with the guy. A photographic "wink".
