Thank you very much Laurie 😎 She didn’t notice me and was too busy with her phone. The camera I was using is totally silent (Fuji X30). Patti, Stacy and I were passing through this park when I noticed the late day sun highlighting her hair. It’s what I call a grab and go shot 😀
Grab and go is good! I wish I could get the clarity with my camera. Wait! Let’s put it this way: I wish I had the skill to get the clarity with my camera. It’s not the camera, it’s the photographer!
You have the skill my friend 😀 In addition to using Lightroom I also use OnOne Perfect Suite as a plug in (with Lightroom). One of the features in OnOne is Dynamic Contrast and it brings out more clarity in the images. I usually use the soft setting which is the lowest. Check on the OnOne software site because they usually let you download the older versions free. I think I am using Perfect Suite 9.5 so any of the older versions should be free in the download section. When you install it should automatically recognize Lightroom and ask if you want to install it as a plugin. Then it will be available from the Lightroom “Photo” Edit menu.

Joe, this is such a great shot. How did you do this? Was she aware you were shooting?

She is too good looking to that, Joe. Nice shot. I like her posture; a very comfortable one I might say.
