Smiling Woman on Bustling City Street at Night

A young woman named Penelope stands smiling on a city sidewalk at night, wearing a brown jacket with an orange/mustard hoodie underneath and jeans. The photo was taken on November 5, 2008 — the night of Barack Obama's historic presidential election victory — which explains the festive, celebratory atmosphere on the streets. Behind her, groups of people mill about on the sidewalk and street corner, and storefronts decorated with warm holiday lights line the background. The image is shot with a wide-angle 16-35mm lens giving it a characteristic wide perspective with slight distortion. The warm amber glow of city street lighting bathes the entire scene in an orange tone.
