great expression - much better than having her staring straight into the camera.

Out of Place (?) in Santa Cruz, CA?

Interesting contrast. Feel the people in the background could have been used to really show the contrast if you'd taken it from a slightly different location - more to the left maybe, to loose some background and have people playing more traditionally in the surf ?

too much hair in front of her face I think. Good light in her eyes though.

great shot of shirley. Saw them a few weeks ago in Texas, good gig!

The contrast is a bit flat in this though, could do with some tweaking to bring out the blacks and whites more strongly.

to the various people that have commented about movement, lack of sharpness etc. You are correct, however there isn't actually anything that could have been done to improve it, without bringing in extra lighting, switching on the sun etc. As you can see from the settings, I'd already bumped the ISO level and had the f-stop as wide open as I could get but still could only get a 1/20s exposure.

good sunset, though I'd show less sky/ have the horizon slightly higher ?

Being careful of things in the background makes a big difference for 'people' pics

too much clutter in the background for this to really be effective.
