I immediately "saw" it in black and white when I was taking it. I'm not completely sure why. Maybe the setting, her clothing, and the men in back combined to form an old school feel for me.
She obviously knew you were taking her picture, as you had to be several feet away. Did you ask her to pose? To pretend you weren't there?
I'm always trying to figure out how to approach strangers when doing this kind of shot. I find it difficult. (she wasn't worried that you were some pervert going to post her pic on some questionable internet site or something?)
Been meaning to start a thread dedicated to this very topic...
Thanks Paul Hodson. It's definitely the day winding down.
Cableaddict - Yes, I knew the girl. This was the second shot in a series of five or six that I took. She was off in her own world when I took them and never saw me snap them. Or, she never acted as though she saw me haha.
