Portraits...friend or foe?

My friends insist that portraits should be my next step in photography growth.  I disagree...to a point. I prefer to catch people unaware, in a good way.  This shot was a combination of both.  She let go of the balloons before I could push the shutter so I politely asked (ok grabbed) a balloon from a near by kid and told her to pretend to let it go again.  Got the shot, but I had to scratch up more balloons for the little kid because she let that one go too.

  2. Great shot. The lighting is very well done. Love the deep shadows around the face. The vignetting effect was a nice touch. AP
