 It's a shame this photo suffered from camera shake. There was not as much light on the sidewalk as it seems. I shot seven or eight candids of this gorgeous young woman, handheld in aperture mode with a high ISO. This was probably the best of the bunch.

PP: cropped, ran strong USM on full-sized image, resized, ran light USM, saved.

Here's another:

Mephisto, I added some camera settings to the photo info above. Yes, it seems impossible I blurred the shot with these settings, but I did! She was surrounded by a small group of friends and everyone was moving around, so I was literally trying to focus and shoot between people.

Bernard, thanks for your comment, too. Much appreciated.
