It seems so simple yet says a lot to me. It has always been a favorite of mine.

In 2012 my daughter got married. My mother was dying of cancer. The wedding was outside a golf course clubhouse overlooking a huge pond. Beautiful. The chairs were all empty and nobody at the podium yet. One of the photos the photographer took is of my dad just getting to the front row with my young (68) year old mother on his arm. The shot is from behind like yours. When I saw the photo weeks later it so moved me that I burst into tears. It still does that to me... four years later. I cannot look at it. There are no other people in the shot except mom and dad. The photo is the most emotionally evocative shot I have ever seen. To anyone else it probably means nothing. For me, it captures the absolute sadness I was feeling at the time for my mother and also the strength it took for her to be there. She wasn't going to let cancer stop her from being at and also dancing at her granddaughter's wedding. They were just two small subjects at the end of that long aisle. I think THAT is what you want a photo to do.

I think your photo is most beautiful. It has brought tears to my eyes, but in a much happier tone. My mother and my daughter were very close. I can see that in your photo too.

That's a great story.
A photo may not mean a lot to another person, a great photo may win an "ahhhh, nice ...", but a photo that brings joy or memory means a lot to the owner of a photo.
I had to do an announcement once of a young woman because of a senseless violent act and I had to use her class photo and even though I saw her walking by the corridor a few times, the photo raised an emotion in me that tears fell. Till this day, I still remember the photo.

CameraNut, a photo that brings joy is more than a good image, it is to be treasured. Glad you love that moment. May you have more.

I love the rain for shooting pics. I run towards it....not away from it.

Even though they certainly look happy together in that trailer, you do know you're not supposed to transport the models in the trailer with the bike, right? They're not just beautiful models, they're people too! And on a side note, I sure wish our Boy Scout trailer looked that nice when we opened it!

Very nice portrait, netmaster4.

Welcome to CR.

If anyone's interested I was playing around with some tube lights to get the cats eye catchlights. Ideally kino flo's for balanced colour, but even normal unbalanced ones can have an interesting effect, especially with coloured hair.

To balance out the beautiful girls

This is August, an 84 year old farmer, living on a remote island on the northwest coast of Norway, with more character than I can put in words. He just received an award from the local dairy, for uninterrupted supply of milk, 15.000(!) days in a row. He has attended his cows, twice a day, every single day over that period, without as much as one single day of vacation.

1DX, 24-70 f2.8L II @67mm
