PS:
Some ceiling lighting may have been in play but the main light source was from windows over the woman's right shoulder and from left front. It is a great corner for these candid portraits. #1467945

Beautiful. The lighting is what makes it--along with her fresh, lovely face. #10173961

As Michelle and Arthur have stated, the light is perfect for another of your incredible Creme portraits

The lady and light are just lovely. Her serene, intent, and interested expression makes you wonder about the conversation. As always, your candids are wonderful. Lovely image. #10174032
