Taking a second--closer--look, Tom, I think you're right: I can see now the smile on the face of the car as well ;-)) Thanks for commenting! -- db.

Good job with the panning, db, just enough grass blur in the foreground. She looks quite happy, & is that a smile I see on the car also? ha

Thanks a lot, CJ, for your kind comment. Yes, I had displayed this a year ago in a Challenge after shooting it as my first--and so far only--learning and practising experience in panning. I've chosen it for the actual challenge once more as it is on-topic (there *is* the smile) and, nevertheless, different from all those many portraits in this gallery. BTW, maybe Cristina is not only enjoying her new car but also the fact that I had just said "one mo' time and then let's call it a day": no more driving right to left, left to right, again and again ;-)) (Panning is not as easy as I had imagined.) -- db.

I've seen this before but it's perfect for this challenge too! She's really enjoying that car! :-) CJ
