My fave for this month's 101 entries -- although I have to say, Chris, it's always so difficult to choose just one of yours. So many outstanding captures. But I love the posture of this and the selective coloring. Truly a story-telling image. Beautifully done. #9590280

Many thanks, Mary Beth. I seldom photograph people---even this, from behind, barely counts! But I've always liked it, so I've got my fingers crossed on this retry! #9590813
