A young woman is the clear focus of the photograph, standing in profile on a riverside walkway and turning her head back toward the camera. Her expression is quiet and steady, with slightly pressed lips, a smooth brow, and long straight hair falling over her shoulder; a small stud earring catches a hint of light. She holds a smartphone with both hands while a light canvas tote hangs from her wrist, suggesting a paused moment mid-step. A dark gray cotton T-shirt and blue denim jeans show soft fabric texture and seams along the waist and pockets. The vertical frame runs from her head to her legs, lit by warm, fading light. Behind her, benches, trees, and distant walkers blur into a gentle bokeh, like a string of lights receding down the path.
