Comment from Paul G.
This is the type of image that you blow up and give as a gift. The tenderness and love is so evident. I think you should be so proud of this image. Great focus. Well done.

Comment from avmurray
This is such a lovely photo of the two of them, and it is easy to see how much they love each other. I almost wish the sea wasn't showing at the bottom of the photo, but it is not distracting.

Your photo is also nice and sharp and the exposure is fine. Nice to see that you avoided a blow out on the white T-shirt.

I know you don't do very much editing, but I think the composition would be even stronger with a slight crop on the right side. Still this is an all together romantic, lovely and well taken photo.

thanks so much again Annie for your kind comments;
I do cropping, but I didn't want to put them in the center;

reply by avmurray on 21-Sep-2016

You are more than welcome Fred. In this case I think it would be OK with the two of them centered.

Comment from Elinor Rakowski
It's refreshing to see parents in love instead of being victims in a divorce. The setting of a beach is very romantic The clear crisp sky adds to the moment. Good capture Hope it lasts a long time

Captured the couple in sweet embrace. Nice detail and sharp image with a good diffused backdrop. Structure is excellently centred and the focus remains on the couples expression... For eachother

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
A nice genuine love scene making smile
your picutre as always is spot on in sharpness contrast an dlighting, just this time I think you have too much sky in relation to their bodies, it would have been perfect with a bit less sky above and more body below with her arms around him - it feels like an amputation -sorry as they are so beautiful, can you ix it? - thanks for sharing

Fred,
A beautiful picture of Stella's loving parents embracing on the beach with the sun falling on her Papas back. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & razor sharp focus.

Comment from David Ruhl
A nice capture of an intimate moment which I'm sure they will enjoy remembering for years to come. You caught the light just right too, as both of their faces are still clear despite being in the shadows.
