Today’s featured photo is by the talented Mircea Bunea, a photographer based in Romania.

Shooting the Photo

It was taken in 2012 of his daughter and friend playing in the garden of a village, where the kids were standing right in front of a big barnhouse entrance.
Gear used was his Canon 5D MKII and a Zeiss Planar 1.4 ZE 50mm.
It was shot at 1/320 f/1.8 and ISO 160

Processing the Photo

The original image was converted to black&white with a slight color tint in Lightroom, then was cleaned up because of the busy left side background.
