Mark

This photo of Mark was taken on 2009-07-04 at the Cango Caves, just before we did the "adventure" tour. Things I like about this picture are:

* Eyes: Mark's blue eyes simply shine.

* Bokeh: The smooth and creamy out-of-focus background highlights Mark's face. Made possible by the 85 mm f/1.8 lens.

* Colors: Mark's red sweatshirt matches his red lips. And, the pink light over his left shoulder complements the other colors. The gray in his hood matches the gray of the lockers behind him.

* Intent: I "saw" this image in my mind's eye when he stood in front of the lockers in which we stored some of our valuables. I pointed and waited for the right second when Mark looked my way.
