Shot seems a lil diffuse and distracted to me.

I like the detail with the woman lifting her finger. Just like she's pointing out that you shouldn't take this picture

Nikolaj - You hit the nail right on the head, she is upset because I am taking his picture, he has the fan and uses it to cover his face if someone tries to take his picture.

Albert - Yes, it is a little diffuse because I stepped in to take it when his fan was down with the lens wide open for selective focus. With the amount of time I had for the shot before he got his fan up I missed the focus a little, and got the sharpest part on his pen. I figured that could be symbolic of his signing books.

If it seems like I was a little bold taking his picture, it was, but I also bought two of his signed books.
