Took this shot last week in Amsterdam and I'm not claiming any credit from what I think is an excellent portrait. I took this shot through a shop window of a print hanging on the back wall.

It was evening and the light was very poor and it was quite a distance away so I used ISO1600 at 1/30 sec with my 100-400mm set at 300mm. If you look in the eye you can see the outline of the photographer. Not me of course!

I went back the next day to get the name of the photographer but the shop was closed and seemed to be closing down. What a shame.

If anyone recognises this picture and the photographer please let me know.

Brian

This is the kind of thing I would do....take a picture of another picture just because of the beauty! Individual image in its own right...well done you!

Brian, well cheated! No idea who she is but can see why you were drawn to her. Love the tight crop - that's very much my kind of thing.

CLICK,
David

okay... you'll have to share the click with the anonymous photographer. It is quite a close up though. If this would hang in my bedroom, I wouldn't leave my bedroom anymore.
