THEME: Portrait/Strong Central Figure

DESCRIPTION: The woman in this picture is clearly the focus of the picture, hence, she is the only thing in focus.  The lights behind her give some color to the photo and add a lot of visual interest as opposed to a portrait on a plain background.  This picture appealed to me because (although I sincerely doubt this is the reality) it told a story.  I imagine a tolerably cold winter evening in a small city. It’s getting very close to Christmas, and the storefronts and few trees along the street are covered in holiday lights, giving a soft reddish glow to the night. A young couple strolls down the street, hand in hand, and stops occasionally to peer into a storefront (where this picture was candidly snapped).
