Thanks Tommy & D:-) I know it's hard to tell the age of young people these days but she seemed about 18 or so at the time.

Another on topic one, Rod. This girl looks about 12 years old, though. ;^O -dtallakson

Hi Stan, at 1/640second, I don't think this is motion blur at all, especially if you notice the bricks in front of her and the blue chair which are OOF. And just because she was not the original focus, she becomes the focus due to her larger presence in the frame, her light colors and of course the cute figure and short skirt! :-D Sometimes accidents work and sometimes they don't, to me this one works very well! :-) CJ

Tough Subject, nice picture but, she was not the main subject as stated and walked into the picture, wouldn't that be motion blur? Following your humor I am sure you just thru this one in to get things going. Stan

This really works Rod! A very happy accident that the pretty young girl walked by just as you pressed the shutter. Great colors in this too - well done! CJ

Animals or plants, your focus was wrong mate. You must be cross-eyed or something :)

Do you know what, though? That mistake is the beauty of this photo.
Rod 12-Feb-2009 23:48
Gentlemen Lydia!! They're a bunch of animals a:-)
aam1234 12-Feb-2009 23:09
We can't help it, sista Lydia. It's in our jeans ... or is it genes :)

Gentlemen! Recall youselves! :) ~Lydia

Bad bad, Rod :)
Rod 12-Feb-2009 20:55
No Aamm I didn't get any in focus picys of this girl as me lightning clicking speed is only good for one click:-)
aam1234 12-Feb-2009 20:18
Do you have an oof of this pic, mate :)
Rod 12-Feb-2009 20:02
Thanks Penny, Aamm & Doug:-) I was focused on the band ready to shoot with me finger already half clicked when she walked into view. Being a trained photojournalist I reacted at lightening speed & pressed full click.
aam1234 12-Feb-2009 19:40
Yeah right. I bet he was fumbling things that he got this pic ;)

I imagine you planned this one. Penny Street

I couldn't agree more. Looks like quite a treat, almost. I hope you re-focused in time for the gust of wind. -Doug
aam1234 12-Feb-2009 11:44
You focused on the wrong subject, mate ;)
