Challenge has finished

Ever took a candid outside shot of someone and the photo turned out so good as if it was a properly composited shot from a studio? This challenge is for photos of people with their natural expression. The expression should come out strong and the upper half of the body the main focus of the picture. So try not to show too much surroundings.
