jojo - is our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day this Tuesday. Jo's picture is one from a trip to South America and was posted to the DPNow gallery just over a year ago. It's a very engaging portrait of a young girl from the Andean mountains. She seems to be in a semi-trance, thinking hard about something. It makes me ask myself if she is happy or sad, or simply wondering about something. Jo has got the focus spot on, with the girl's eyes in sharp focus, though there is evidence that a wide aperture was used as there is fairly limited depth of field. I also like the timeless aspect of the look of the girl that is challenged by the modern logo on her wooly hat. This is a smashing picture and I'm surprised that in the year it has been in the gallery that it hasn't attracted any comments or ratings.
