Description: at a rest area near Kearny, NE while stopped for a nature call & to exercise my dog I grabbed my camera just in case... upon returning to the car I spotted this fellow traveler shading himself from the heat of the day. I immediately dropped to the ground for the angle I wanted. I opened the aperture wide open to kill as much of the background as possible, and the ISO was at 100. I was in AP so the camera did the rest for exposure. I am generally a bit shy and uneasy with "sneaking" photos of unsuspecting subjects. So I took this shot and moved on without adjusting angle, direction, etc. I personally like the background as is. I think it contributes to the story of the image without being focused sharply. But is it too busy? Other issues you see? Thank you.
