Eilish in the Woods

Eilish in Dappled Shade (Canon EOS 5d Mark II, Yongnuo 85mm f/1.8 lens, ISO 100, 1/5000 sec at f/1.8, handheld)

This shot was taken on a quick walk with the dogs and my daughter, Eilish, at the weekend.  The dappled shade in the woods was fantastic with bright sunny patches and deep shade alternating.  I really liked the way Eilish appeared to be almost painted by the shade and visualised this as looking really good in black & white, which I think it does.  I opted for a wide open aperture to get a nice soft background.
