The light outside — and inside — is pretty poor right now.
Still, the children always find a way to play.

Blue.
Inspiration, Nikon 58mm f/1.4G, Nikon D810, Portrait, Q&A, Teaching pointThis image was taken at the same time as all of my other recently posted images, before I realized that my 58/1.4 lens was front-focusing.
The intended focus here was the near eye, but the actual focus ended up being on the front of the hat.
Still, I like this image.
