I hope freedom is not too abstract as a topic for the photo challenge, and that everything is done right - It is my first time doing this. ;) Or else, feel free to correct me.

I only have left to say: Let the challenge begin! :)

Alucard, thanks, well, its pretty much the lense i used, and by taking it considering shallow depth of field. Although the lense i used for that one the fstop only goes to 3.5

well ... i tryed to find the original name of the play or the one in english but i couldn't ... the poster behind says "the thinking"
i was at a photoshoot last week with Le Gab and we went to the National Theatre so he can buy some tickets for a play, he didn't :P while in the building i noticed this cute little girl who came with her mother i think (i don't quite remeber) ... my luck, i had the camera around the neck and ready too shoot ... i watched her, waiting for a moment to shoot a good photo ... it came ... this is it ... point, click ... that's it, no second try ... one photo :)

freedom is inside

The thinking
