Hi Paul,

It's a lovely moment you have captured with the mist making it very atmospheric. The fallen branch in the FG is a little distacting as it just interfere's with the legs and once my eyes are on it that's where they stay.

It's a great effort though Paul, go and move that branch :wink:

Regards

Rob

A tender moment expertly captured. Very nicely framed, and the soft lighting and low contrast suit the mood perfectly.

Very atmospherical, but I agree with Rob that the fallen branch in the FG is a bit distracting :smile:
