Malinka

Malinka, Chatsworth, Derbyshire, UK

1/500 s at F/2.8, ISO 100, focal length: 55mm, Chatsworth Farm Playground  
Photographed with Canon EOS 7D, EF-S 17-55 f/2.8, handheld

This portrait was made by the end of a day, just before sunset at a playground at Chatsworth House Farm. Of course it's not possible to have a sensible look just by telling them to stop and pose - just the opposite would happen. Here Malinka is eating an ice cream and I fired in bursts to get that right moment. Also I shifted around to get the dark background for the highlighted profile which otherwise would get lost against the bright sky.
