One of my favorite, and btw, "no-look" shots from my downtown shots on June 17th. The background story to this is that I was chimping through my previous shots, when out of my peripheral vision, I saw a woman walking down College Street wearing an eye-catching orange dress. I didn't have time to put the view-finder up to my face, focus and snap, so I just "no-scoped" and shot, not knowing how it would turn out. I immediately reviewed the shot and was disappointed that I had beheaded her in the shot.

After getting home and looking at it again, and noticing that there was an added feature of the sunlight reflecting off of the office building windows and illuminating the subject, I decided that the composition worked well and decided to keep the shot (the anonimity of the subject just added to the character of the shot in my opinion). I even left the sunflare in at the upper right most portion of the frame.

Any feedback or critique is always welcomed. I'm still learning everyday so it is much appreciated.
