Good to See You Again!

I seem to bring out the kid in people as shown in this link and the photo from this post.
Participant at Annual Turkey Trot...

I'm still working on this capture but loved the bokeh, the enthusiasm of the runner, and the angle of the capture. f/7.1, ISO 500, 1/500sec (D5200 at 240mm)

John...take the shot...drop the camera and accept a great hug. Great shot and expression.

Nicely done John - I particularly like the way you've caught her face, which was a potential minefield with that bare sunlight. It really captures the moment.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the comments.

The highlights need pulling back a bit john but this is a superbly caught shot. You've captured the moment beautifully. (You're getting too good at these )

Hi John . I agree with the comments above. A great shot and the highlights need reducing a bit

Hi Binnur,

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for comments and critique.

John, you obviously have an aura that makes people feel comfortable. This and your linked image show that.

A very happy, uplifting capture.

Dave,

Thanks for comments.

Not to be too big a drag, but I would like to see the color version as in my imagination color would add some contrast and pop.

Here is the color version.

[Brev00]

Thanks. I really like the color. Better than I expected even. I thought maybe the color of the car was distracting or something but everything looks good to me. Love the purple.

I love the colour version. The woman's face is so attractive as you caught her expression. I like the black and white version too but seeing the colour but in a different way even if the expression did not change.
