 Picked one of my Summer of Love shots for this month's free study. This is the one that I remember most from the shoot, just something about the WTF expression on the clown's face as I took his picture from about 50 yards away.

Don't expect this will do well, particularly in a free study, but I like it. Expecting about a 5.5, 5.6 score, but would be thrilled if this made it above 6.

Tough to shot in such sharp lighting. Nice separation of subject from background, though.

It looks like you managed the exposure pretty well for the harsh mid-day light but I think the highlights could have been darkened some. Nice DOF

The vibrant colors are great here, and your warm tones really flatter the subject. The bright whites in the background detract from the subject, however.
