Ma che gioconda e giocondsa / Nikon D1-X


I am stating this with great modesty. Yet there something in this photo that recalls the Mona Lisa. The fact that the subject is my beautiful and dear daughter and colleague is only coincidental. Perhaps not. Judge for yourselves. The lens was the 24-85 F2.8-4 Nikkor. The place was the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Perhaps the background should have been less in focus but I like the patterns made by the clematis flowers.
