Must have been some confession. -Doug

Good points Konstantin as the candid picys do look better without that perfect look we try for, too often really.

Penny, Mary Anne, Rod, Chris, Carol, Brent,
thank you very much for your comments.
Carol - sure this was not the Confession. I just thought that this title could add some touch. May be I was wrong.
Rod - I fully agree with you that this picture can be done better. But it was not my intention - candid is candid. Not the technique but captured moment is decisive. The picture does have a really minimum PP - just White Balance & Color Correction and a bit crop.
I think this white table and Lady’s white back add reality and environment to the picture. I tried to do a cut when I was working with the picy but the result lost its “candidity” for me.

Nice timing to capture a great expression Konstantin.

Wonderfully expressive face on the monk, but I don't think it was a confession but maybe just a fun conversation! CJ

Love this shot. Pure expression.

Nicely done Konstantin he's certainly enjoying listening to her secret. I think a crop down her left shoulder to get rid of the very bright table cloth, or a burn in would make this picy more intimate.

I love the expression you've caught on the monk's face...not what I usually think of in connection with a confession.

Penny, thank you.
I really was not sure that I manage to post something. You, know, the correspondence in challenge takes so much time ... :-)

So, I was wondering if you would get around to posting in your own challenge - doing what you like best to do!!! This is terrific. I love it.
