Took a walk with my daughter in Princeton...it turned out to be a beautiful fall day and quality time spent.
This is essentially a glorified snapshot. We were walking towards Triumph Brewery to meet up with my wife, saw the stairs and arches. Loved the lighting, so I told Madison to walk up the stairs. Hand held at 1/50 (50mm).

Very nice composition. The blue of her sweater and the blue reflected off of the railings along with those touches of blue in the stones at the bottom of the stairs makes for some nice continuity.
