In the late afternoon, the sun slanted at a steep angle, creating a shaft of light in the square of the Budapest Opera House. Just as I raised my camera to my eye, a woman crossed my path and stepped into that amazing line of light. I pressed the shutter and this image, with that great backlight, was the result.
