Took this today while walking around town with my 35mm 1.8.

As always, looking for general feedback. :)

From her expression I'll bet she didn't know you had a GF when you took the picture.

Funny you should say that, she enthusiastically said yes almost strait away as I was only half way through my opening gambit of why I needed to take her portrait, everyone else that day let/made me finish my explanation. :lol:

Nice expression, good exposure, etc. The only thing I could note is that the use of such a short lens makes her nose look big.

mind sharing your explanation? I often have trouble asking strangers if I can take their picture, or even taking their picture without asking.
