Description
She had her back to me. I set the focus, willing her to turn around. A man walked up behind her. He must have said something I couldn't hear. She recognized his voice, spun around fast, smiling, and gave him a big hug.
The man was not interesting. Just a guy in street clothes, important only to her, his back to the camera.
I loved her spontaneous smile, pure pleasure at seeing her friend.

Wonderful capture! she has a very beautiful smile
Well seen, and perfect timing, Tara! Her face is pure delight! Great capture!
Oh Tara - what a wonderful catch my friend! I love what you did! Hmmmm......
Cool work!!
Happiness is.....
That is indeed a lovely capture Tara. SO well done :-D
How marvellous! the beginning os a brilliant short story.
Excellent capture! :)
@ Andrea...LOL. Nicely done. Love the way you cropped and postworked this. Great expression. :*
What a marvelous picture, and like Andrea, I see the written element as the beginning of a brilliant short story. I'm in an internet cafe as I write this--a rather swanky, photo-resistant cafe--and the image as you've presented it fits rather nicely with the colorful interior of this place. I like that! I love her expression and the spontaneity of this. Again, fantastic work!
I remember when you saw this; great capture!
Very nice spontanious candid. You caught just the right moment.
I remember her SO well,and how we talked about this shot and everything about that particular place. Brides on their wedding days glow with a light that transcends everything else, and you caught this SO well. (and, she was wearing RED shoes!!)
Wonderful capture and a big open space is lovely too, just enought to add a suitable poem what you so good at making.
Lovely image, but get rid of the vignette :)
wonderful moments ........loved the green too.
Lovely shot she does looks happy to see her friend.. very well done!!
Snapped just at the right time!
Thank you Marilyn. I thought she might be attending a wedding. But if she was the bride and the man was in street clothes he most likely was not the groom. Hmmm, perhaps there's a story there after all.
Excellent capture...
Much too poignant for anything I have to say.
Spontaneous and joyful. Great photo.
beautiful !
Runaway Bride?
Well done! Clive
