I took this photo at the weekend:
As soon as I took it, and had a quick glance at the screen, I knew it was special (in my eyes). Posted it on a few forums, and flickr. A discussion started with lots of very positive comments, some like "Of all the photos that I have seen in this thread, some of which are stunning, this is by far my favourite. Absolutely brilliant shot". It also made flickr explore.
This got me thinking.
Who was in the shot? Why didn't I stop and ask her at the time for an email address so I can send the photo to her?
Anyway, last night comes. I decided to put a little page together on my site with a close up of her face, and another shot I took of the kid facing forward. Testing the 6 degrees of separation theory, I then put an appeal out on my wife's facebook account (I don't have one).
2 hours go by, the 6th person to comment posts up saying she is 99% positive she knows the lady in the shot. 5 minutes later I get an email with the ladies email address. She loved the shot :o)
I sent it to her, free of charge. She is delighted!
It's nice to be nice ;o)

Great shot, but she could have easily been creeped out by you taking pix of her and her kid and putting them up on the internet without permission.
