Both girls sat on the ground in an area fully lighted by the sun. A diffuser softened the light on the young women. The sunlit background was overexposed and blurred. To me, this vertical cropping was too busy because of the arms and details in the lower part of the picture. Compare with the next picture, HHD3-2208.

This picture was made during the April 2, 2011, Saturday morning field trip to the UT Arboretum, Oak Ridge, TN.
