The quintessential shopper - great the high contrast, her silhouette is, of course, lovely - but that background with the chandelier and the highlights are, for me, what really sets this image off, Duane.
Hope you stayed away from the gambling tables!

Very nice Duane. I think I noted elsewhere that you don't do a lot of street photography, but when you do, you do it well. This is surely an example of that!

Morning Armanius, it was AF. I had just come out of the Apple Store and had time to AF this shot.

Do you call Amazon online staying away from gambling tables BBW? I'm not sure as there's only one direction funds can go via Amazon online. At least you have a chance to get some money back gambling!!
Thanks for the nice comments. I did have to work the photo a bit to get it to look the way I wanted to see the image.

Morning Dan, I worked this one over pretty good in Silver Efex Pro. I did my cropping in Aperture before sending the color DNG file to Silver Efex Pro. I began the edit using the soft sepia preset and worked from there.
As BBW noted she like the chandelier. The area above the woman's head was blown out and was able to put a control point there and pull that little bit of detail out.
I also used control points around her shadow to emphasize that area some more and I burned the left, right and bottom to center the eyes attention away from some distractions there.
Hope this helps.

True, true...though they (Amazon) generally have a good return policy.

Well done Duane, I like the way she is silhouetted by the reflection in the floor
