Helpful Posts: Taken a few weeks ago at Nathan Philip's Square in front of our City Hall here in Toronto.
I was walking around looking for interesting subjects when I spotted a group being prepared to be guides of some sort for an event in the square. In among the group I noticed a beautiful Asian woman wearing a sunhat, who I immediately wanted to photograph. Luckily the group was standing in an area of open shade, in front of a dark background, so using my longest lens wide open to isolate her, I grabbed this shot.

Re: Face in a crowd-2
Are you home processing or sending it out? If at home, you need to agitate with more frequency or if on a roller system, check that the roller is dead on level. I am seeing a colour shift area near the bottom and that is a tendency of improper processing.
It is an interesting pose that begs an answer to a question not yet asked.

Chris,

The bit of magenta at bottom right is the remnants of another person's shirt. He was standing between me and the subject, who was in the middle of a crowd, so I isolated her as best I could by shooting wide open. I then had to decide between posting the shot un-cropped with out of focus people in front and behind her, or cropping severely to get rid of the distracting elements.
I chose the latter option, which makes the composition simpler and cleaner and focuses only on her beautiful features.

Fantastic shot and isolation, Robert. I like that you caught her from the side and that we cannot see her eyes. It really adds to the mystery and intrigue of who she is.
