 A snapshot of an artist at an outdoor art festival. I was shooting her back and she turned just as the shutter clicked.

I think I should have called this "Flamboyant". Everyone else specified the personality type in their titles. I thought the photo was supposed to show the personality, so I didn't spell it out.

I couldn't tell from the comments whether, people thought the photo was poor, or whether they thought it did not illustrate personality (DNMC).

Finally I gave you 7 (but could have given 8); I think the photo has something, even though it does not entirely fit the challenge title (but I am not one to rate low because it DNMC). I think the minus here is the focus issue (sharper on body than on face), that depends on your intention upon shooting (as you said, she turned unexpectedly). But, I think it is an interesting shoot.

I like this one, it has a certain quality between snapshot and contemporary art photography ... dont't really know how to rate ... I'll rate tomorrow, I'll think a little more about it.

What's keeping me from giving this photo a ten is the focus: to me, it's not sharp and crisp. She does however, totally fit the profile you've given her. I think a little less centered (if possible) crop may have improved the overall composition. As is, I'm going with a 9.
