Sitting on a boulder at a mountain summit at mid-morning, laughing genuinely with a thermos of coffee in hand, a vast valley of ridgelines rolling out behind, wearing a broken-in flannel over a merino base layer. Soft high-altitude sun from camera left, clean cool air, distant haze. 35mm, f/2.8, waist-up, candid. Warm natural grade. Adventurous and approachable at once.
