Eye Catching [For Advanced Online Marketing]
Uploaded: September 25, 2008 08:23:29
I took this shot at a Scandinavian Festival in the small town of Junction City, Oregon. Every year they celebrate the heritage of those that founded this little town. These young dancers caught my eye with their native costumes. I couldn't help notice the interaction of these two. I really liked this moment when their eyes met. Shot outdoors on an August day. Added blur to the background to isolate the couple keeping them the strong focal.
