 Today we went to visit Ken's Grandma, we call her Granny Jennie. She lives in a duplex out in Schererville, Indiana. In front of her duplex is a nice pond with a fountain in the middle of it. I went out today with the intentions of getting a picture of the fountain and pond. Nothing was working though. Suddenly, I see Cartesia sitting in front of me enjoying the view. This was one of the first shots I got of her before she realized I was taking pictures of her. Once she figured it out I had to resort to bribery again.

I titled it "The Dreamer" because it looked as if she was off in her own litle world.

This is a great moment you captured because she's not in perpetual motion like she typically is. The focus is perfect for 2.8 at such a close distance. And the processing? Absolutely stunning.

I thought I had commented on this already, I must have been looking at work and decided to wait until I got home and then didn't. I think this is a really precious shot. You have processed it beautifully too.

This is superb. The lighting, colours, composition. The whole photo has a dreamy misty mood. I love that the shadow behind her shows up her eye, in contrast. Did you use a diffuse glow action, or is that all just the narrow depth of field?
