shutter button, the camera begins counting down.

has been transformed into a vignette, you know that the
subject is the center of attention and there is an elliptical

with light and shadows. With keen observation skills, a
digital camera, and a bit of good luck, you can frame a
subject in a natural vignette and create an image similar
