    As my friend sat down on the floor near a rail, I noticed the unusual lighting on her face and pointed it out to her. She had one line of natural light to play with and so she did. As the result of a bit of teamwork, an image that emphasizes lines with the help of natural light and shadows was created.

    Yes, yes, yes, Ivette! I love that you saw an ordinary moment with interesting light and rolled with it. The shadows of your friend's hands mimic the rails in the background, elevating this moment compositionally. The little light in her eyes perfectly framed by the shadows is spot on. Great work.
