Orton PDA

Active Assignment Weekly: Emotions

Restriction: No faces should be involved in the picture, try to express the emotion in another way.

Dare: Involve someone in your picture who doesn't know it. So don't do a set up, just go out and take a picture of a natural emotion.

WIT: Captured this loving couple outside a restaurant when their companion ran back in to get something she had left. I cropped and added a gaussian blur to two layers with an adjusted opacity soft light and hard light blend and desaturated the base layer. This mocks the Orton Effect which I did to add depth to the shot.
