Love the second one.
I feel the first would look better without the other couple in the frame, (just shows, your never too old for a manbag, lol).

Absolutely wonderful. I also agree the first would be improved if the other couple were not in the image.

I love both, but #1 is one of the best shots I've ever seen on POTN. Keep both couples in----it is wonderful just like it is!

Wow both are stunning. I actually like the fact that the couple in #1 are not facing the camera, it helps the viewer be more imaginative I think. Such a good job!

freakin' BRILLIANT. Those might be two of the nicest pics I've seen ... EVER! Can you share with us a percentage estimate on how much the camera/lens is responsible compared to your PP efforts to achieve such incredible images?

The reason I ask is because my other hobby (paid, thankfully!) is music. I play guitar and sing in a sucessful regional hippie 60s act. I go to painstaking lengths to duplicate guitar tones from the 60s during performance. I know however that much of the magic of (for example) Roger McGuinn's 12-string Rickenbacker tone on Hey, Mister Tambourine Man was created in a studio with a LOT of help. Trying to pull off his signature tone live is always going to fall short. Close, but not like you hear on the recording itself.

I hope this makes sense and you can let me know how much 'studio magic' was performed on your images and how much was the image captured by the camera itself.

thanks for posting those masterpieces! They set the bar really high.
