The
Orange Girl
The girls you meet in the Jardin de Luxembourg, I tell you! One
of the marvellous things about Paris, and this famous garden in
particular, is that they are always surprising you with some
weird and wonderful exhibition or other.
Not much to say about this pic technically speaking. The bright
sky behind and the dark statue caused typical problems with the
inevitable trade off between detail in the sky and detail in the
face. You have to go for more detail in the face in this case,
because although a silhouette would be intriguing you would lose
more than gain (in my opinion), not least the gorgeous orange
coloured... oranges, which complement the green of the trees and
the statue perfectly. |
