What a friendly lady.
I have to say, she may have been a bit overdressed for the weather that day.
Now I have to say, I'm a bit of a shy guy. So to take a picture like this takes a certain amount of effort. Especially when you realize how wide angle the camera is and just how close I actually have to get for a shot like this. Now I had to approach this woman and ask her to pose. She was charming and agreeable I'm happy to say. I was a bit flustered when she asked "What is your center of attention?". I realize I'm rambling here but contrary to appearances of this shot there are hundreds if not thousands of photographers here and the majority do not engage their subjects. However, when I would set up a shot like this and ask the person to hold the pose for several seconds, dozens of shutterbugs would jump in behind me and start clicking away. Just something I noticed.
