Maya – a semi-candid portrait.
I was in a in a line, waiting to pick up a drink – crowded – extremely – at an indoor stadium. Noticed this beautiful baby. I had my 70-200mm on at the time but managed to get off a few shots. They came out nice, so I went up and showed the mother (and lost my place in line). She was very pleased, so I asked her if I could take one more. This is the result.

And how flash is that lighting for an indoor stadium? (I assume that one extra shot was taken on the spot.) Ya gunna have all those pro shooters saving their money and dragging their baby subjects down to the local basketball hall!
