Budding photographer's photo?

[tojo_m]

It doesn't rain much in Phoenix (AZ) and this evening it rained and I quickly shot someone photographing nature.

Here is a link to the photograph: link



What do you think of this photo?

I had to take this photo in a hurry (before the photographer lost interest). I was wondering if I should have used a CPL, but I think that would have reduced the charm of this image. Agree?

Photo taken with : Canon Xsi and Tamron 17-50 f/2.8

To imbed a picture from Flickr, go to the picture you want to use from Flickr and click on the "All Sizes" option (above your picture). Select the Medium size and then look below the picture for the first box (the with with "Copy and paste this HTML into your webpage" above it). Highlight and select all the text in this box and then cut or copy it. Now go back to the DPS post you want to imbed the image into and paste the text into the text box. Click on the "Preview Post" button to see if your picture is imbedded in the post. If it is, click the Submit button.

The CPL would have eliminated the reflection of the rainbow and I don't think you'd want that.

I'd probably wind up with a really awkward crop because my first instinct would be to crop out the frame around her (left & bottom) in a way that keeps the rainbow as well. I think it would make it feel a bit less like a quick shot.

We often put a frame in the foreground to direct attention to the subject. So I kept the window but straighten it. Next I cropped it using Golden Spiral to give the face & camera emphasis.
