Beautiful Celtic lady...

This was one of my first attempts, in 2010, to make spontaneous portraits. This beautiful lady really stood out in the crowd, so I went over and asked her if it was OK to take her portrait.

She blushed, and said to me: Why me? I'm nothing special. I didn't agree with her on that. After a couple of minutes her attention went back to her doings, and then I took this shot.

 

I shot this on Ektar 100 film, but never could get the colours right due to my amateuristic scanning skills. Indeed, as claimed, this film is almost grainless, perfect to scan, and a tiny bit red on the skin tones...
