Wanda08_05_04.jpg

Wanda is still trying to make up for the sleep she lost from the all night hike last weekend. When she got home this evening she hit the couch and was asleep in minutes. The light was great and I couldn't resist taking this shot. I bounced just a little flash to balance some of the shadows.

Canon EOS 10D ,Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
1/100s f/3.5 at 51.0mm iso200 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I remember drifting in and out of sleep while Bill shot this picture. I remember thinking to Myself "this will be a great shot. . NOT!" I was certain he would wait until My mouth was hanging open, My eyes were half shut and I was snoring before he took the shot. But he was kind and managed to capture a shot where I don't actually look too bad!

Very nice...looks very soft and peaceful. I like this the best of the last 4 day's photos, but am not sure why. Very natural, I think. Wanda is a wonderful model, even asleep. Not many can say that! Good work, again.

Beautiful, guys ... the innocence of our youth is never more apparent in adults as when we sleep. The only thing missing is her teddy bear. Very, very peaceful image. I love it.

Thats how I felt yesterday, still. Much better today, I am not falling asleep at the wheel.

Like a sleeping angel.
Great job capturing the moment.

So THAT is what I am going to look like in My casket! (grin) Gee, I wonder if I was a thumbsucker when I was a wee infant?

She looks so peaceful! Wish I looked like that when I was sleeping :P
