Sorry for the posting delay. Truthfully there are up cycles and down cycles in any hobby, and I have been going through a bit of a “down-phase” recently. I thought I might start gently again with my second choice from Bethan’s shoot from my 100 portraits project last year. I didn’t do many pictures that didn’t have a full facial view, so this one was highly odd for me. It was in the botanic gardens in Glasgow.

Yet, because of the slices of green, one can imagine that Bethan is behind a plant or has a scarf in front of her face. Very cool!

The shot works very well because of Bethan's dramatic eyes (nice catchlights!) and the slices of green add an air of mystery...wonderful!
