Sometimes you get lucky and get that perfect shot the first time! This is my mom and I think she looks beautiful here. We had stopped at a little cafe in Seville (Cadiz) and my father had run off to use the washroom somewhere. My mom had slipped into the cafe to grab some coffee and I was standing a little further away having a cigarette. My mom came out of the cafe and was just taking a drink when I saw the perfect opportunity. When I first took the shot, I'd thought I'd missed it. It wasn't until I uploaded the picture that I saw how great it actually was. All I had to do with this one was adjust the brightness and contrast slightly to bring out my mom's best features! It just goes to show you that people are easier to photograph they're caught off guard. I find that most posing looks a little silly, but if you catch them in a pose that looks natural, it usually turns out pretty great!
