Great shot. Emotional content.

Thanks Guinevere, I have a number of potentially beautiful shots of Maasai women where the eyes reflect a very hard life.

Beautiful shot. You must have a very steady hand to have pulled this off at 1/4 sec!!!

Thanks Marc, I actually have a tremor. Non life threatening. Locking arm positions and mental focus helps. The 7D is a great camera but I usually try to limit ISO to 800 as noise is an issue in these circumstances.

Thanks! My preference is to capture beauty in the world. The beauty of the people often contrasts with the hard life reflected in their eyes.
