Not much context here, but she has a summer job selling ice-cream in the centre of Edinburgh. Saved up nearly £700 - might try it myself next year! DP2Quattro.

Now that is simply a wonderful portrait, Rob. Gorgeous subject and a gorgeous shot.
Did you have a flake?

Always do! Boy, she worked hard. There was a big queue, and the ice-cream was solid. Her right arm looks like Popeye's now. She ALMOST beat me at arm wrestling for the first time...it was close!
The Quattro has accentuated her freckles a little - they're not really that prominent. The colour version really made them pop, and not in a nice way. So, I had to try to calm them down. B&W helped a lot, and decreasing the sharpness and contrast. Despite that, I think it has a natural look. Of course, it goes without saying, she hates it!

A wonderful and loving portrait and absolutely proper if I may say so! Done by a proud customer right?
