An Autumn Portrait


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   An Autumn Portrait
An Autumn Portrait

I was photographing this bridge in very dense fog (visibility was less than a quarter mile most of the day) when this young family started walking by. Part way across the bridge the little girl turned around and asked Mom to take her picture – Mom being equipped with an iPhone had the girl pose near the railing – I simply captured the moment of them capturing their moment!

  Talk about your lucky timing, Jeff! Great mom-daughter moment on the bridge, and your second shot is beautifully composed, with the vanishing point ending in those Autumn colors.

  Added this one to my favorites Jeff. I love everything about it. Love the fall colors, the fog, the design of the bridge, the little girl posing for mom. Composition, pov, sharp details, just the beautiful look of the picture. A winner in the MT category for sure and probably in a couple more. Gorgeous my friend.

  The long view across the bridge and into the mist is great, Jeff, but the little piece of family life here just caps it beautifully.
