Wasn't till I viewed the 1600x971 size that I noticed the ring.

I like the vanishing point of the rail lines behind her and the light. Nice portrait.

koven - did you use fill flash?

For me it's really made by the lighting round the top of her hat!

Don't. I like the landscape orientation and the perspective.

I mean...hell, do what you want, your photo. It's Digital, so try the crop...but I don't think it'll look as good.

And lose the rails that draw the eye into the image? It's the asymmetry of the rails combined with the central figure that makes the composition for me.

Thanks guys!
No flash


Here were the settings i used:

Manual exposure
0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture f/2.0
ISO Speed 500

Exposure compensation was 0

It just turned out to be the perfect day to take pictures in that area. I barely did any PP.
