Seems that you're doing a lot of colour lately; not a criticism or comment, just an observation. I like this one a lot (and it works best in colour, IMHO). Great composition, great choice of lens - the 35mm is wide enough to separate her from the background, but no distortion at all. I really like where she is on the bench, I like that the bench isn't perfectily level in the frame (although I'm sure the ground is level), I like the way the grass in the foreground and the trees in the background frame her. The birds, the quiet pond, they all give the aura of great peacefullness; a perfect place to get lost in a book (as she seems to be doing). And, I ~really~ like her red beret! It really sets her off against all that green. GREAT touch. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
