Saturday Shoot with Daniel

I walked over to Riverside Park today with my friend Daniel. This was the first shot of about 300 shots we took this afternoon, and I think I like it best of all of them. I should have just stopped after this one!

Beautiful, sunny day in NYC. The park was crowded.

I'm still experimenting with shooting in bright sunlight. I've gotten a lot of good advice that I'm putting to use... such as putting the subject with his back to the sun and filling in the face with flash or reflector. In this case... I used a reflector on Daniel (blinding him at times!) but it came out like I wanted. It looks natural which is what I was hoping for.
