Day 174 - Being comfortable

More than mastering your tools, as a photographer, I think the most important thing a photographer must have is the ability to make your subject feel comfortable.  Ok... maybe they are both equally important. This photo is one I took of my friend/model during the shoot I was doing for the contest.  We were in between ideas, and she was just relaxing.  I just love how natural and relaxed she is in this shot.
