Ground-level view skimming a surface, the near part of the surface sharp and rising into the frame, showing a person sitting at a picnic table in a park, surrounded by slowly drifting glowing petals that are red, white, and blue, illuminating their face and the food on the table. Glitter residue sits on the picnic table surface, and a half-eaten apple on a plate rests nearby. The 33-year-old picnicker, a woman of Aboriginal Australian descent with very deep brown skin with cool undertones, is gasping in surprise, the eyebrows shot up and the mouth wide open, her diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones framed by grey eyes and thin fine eyebrows with a faint scar through one eyebrow, her chin-length hair in densely packed tight coils dyed lilac and styled in long box braids, wearing aviator sunglasses pushed up onto her head and a chunky cream knit sweater. The composition uses an 85mm lens from a few metres, with the background compressed and soft, maintaining strict symmetry with the main figure on the centre line. Hard midday sun straight overhead creates short black shadows and bright highlights. Shot on a medium format digital camera with an 85mm lens, producing a shallow depth of field that isolates the subject from the blurred park background with crisp detail on the face and petals.
