Laughter

Well, this certainly was a challenge - thank you Apollo Fly for hosting MM this week! 

I am new to street photography and am becoming braver. I was trying to be  incognito (tricky in a town where I know most people!) in the search for laughter. 

My radar was in listening mode. Just as I was about to come home, pretty empty handed, I heard the distinct ring of laughter and there was this lovely lady on the prom. 

I am very pleased with the result! 

For those who are interested I have: 
cropped the image - 
put a gaussian blur on the first layer - 
extracted the lady as the subject and then put slightly different hues of blue on both layers. 

Black and white was not giving it the vibe I wanted
