Seeing 2010 (#68)

For your consideration: a study in contemplation.

My friend graciously agreed to pose for a portrait just after High Noon on a bright day; I rarely photograph at such hours as the lighting is relatively flat (especially for color work) and finding rich textures normally revealed by low, slanting sun rays can be difficult.

However, in this case Sol's blazing directly over head (!) permitted a lush amplification of Mr Loo's abundant, symmetric coif, providing resplendent texture and surprisingly bountiful shadows . . .
