Daydreaming…

I was lucky to come across this beautiful young lady outside of the Bodega de Valle, a restaurant along the waterfront in Cienfuegos, Cuba. She seemed lost in reverie as I photographed her, and it made me think of Romeo and Juliet. Or maybe that’s just me, a hopeless romantic.

In any case, the light was wonderful, the subject perfect, and I was happy to be taking her picture! One of my favorite filter sets that I’ve used since I started digital photography is Nik Color Efex Pro. I used the Dynamic Skin Softener to ever so slightly soften the image and give Juliet’s skin a porcelain look.

Now back to daydreaming for me…
