Sunday Bashful Blush Photo: November 22, 2009

2009_1122_green_headband.jpg

This Self-Centered Sunday business redounds to everyone's benefit when someone like caroline.angelo composes such a bright portrait. The ocher color of the wall looks like it was chosen to match the freckles on the subject's arms. Further, the brightly lit section of the wall contrasts with the olive of her headband in a way that's almost difficult -- the eye strains to perceive them as a similar hue. Of course, obscuring the face is a notorious strategy in contemporary portraiture, and in this shot, caroline.angelo captures a lot of fun despite not revealing the subject's eyes.
