Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 13 July 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
This was just before Christmas 2003 in the centre of Sydney. I saw this girl across the road. She was part of a group that seemed to be on their way somewhere to sing. I got this photo and the other, which is titiled "Angel II", but unfortunately did not capture the beautiful smile she gave me as she turned and saw me. I'll never get over losing that one. I can still see her expression now!
Some work in Photoshop, including cloning out an outstreched arm on the right, which belonged to someone who was about to put a necklace on the subject.
Thanks for visiting my pages. I really do appreciate every comment made, and always return the favour.

Thanks to you all for the response here. Viewfinder: The arm was diagonally across the material to the right of the gir's dress, starting at the level of her waist, with the hand crossing the line that is the right side of the v-shaped shadow area below her hair.
