I meant to add that I love this shot despite the fact that it violates
one of my key rules for portraits which is that folks should generally
be shown looking into the image rather than out of it. Just goes to
show that rules are made to be broken. But this would be a dramatically
different image if it weren't for the fireplace or if the fire wasn't
burning.
