A young woman named Penelope smiles warmly at the camera in this outdoor portrait taken near the San Francisco Bay in January 2008. She is wearing a tan/beige trench coat over a green turtleneck with a Rolling Stones-style graphic tee underneath. The background is beautifully blurred with a bokeh effect revealing the bay waters and what appears to be the Golden Gate Bridge faintly visible in the upper right. The image was captured with a Canon EOS 30D using a 70-200mm telephoto lens, which compresses the background and creates a pleasing shallow depth of field. The mood is bright, cheerful, and casual with natural winter sunlight illuminating her face.
