Basking-2

[RBSinTo]

This was taken a few years ago on Queen Street East, here in downtown Toronto.
I was walking with a photobud looking for interesting scenes when I spotted a young woman reclining in a chair with head back, legs outstretched and eyes closed basking in the warm summer sun.
I exposed for the highlights to eliminate the darker, shaded background, and got this shot.

Good subject, Rob. I think it would be more dramatic without the tree's shadow, but you have to accept what the street presents. It's a shame that the shadow cut off her elbow, too.
