Very cute, Richard! I love the softness and the golden highlights on the girls. Were these really twins, or did you edit that into there?Richard Lynch October 01, 2005
That is actually real, unplanned. Was just walking down the beach with my camera, and these two showed up with their mother. I added a little soft focus effect (my own technique, not a filter). The rest was just a slight enhancement of the morning sun. Thanks for the comments. #1906094Susan T. Evans October 04, 2005
This is terrific Richard, great light, clarity and compostion! #1917051Darryl Wilkinson October 20, 2005
LUCK is my best friend when photographing. Sometimes it's required to establish a "great shot." Good eye Richard. #1973834Julie Bales November 20, 2005
I just love this one. So peaceful, and the twins look almost "angelic". this is a winner in my opinion!!! #2097580Richard Lynch November 22, 2005

Wende, Donna, Sharon, Bob, Johnny and Cathy, thanks for the kind words. I've shot a few more people since. I think sometimes I fiddle too much (or use extreme settings) to get good people shots...I appreciate the comments and encouragement. #2171088Mitch Spence December 28, 2006
I noticed this before, Richard, and didn't comment then. But this is such a luminous picture. I see that word here and there, but this really exemplifies it for me. #3748461Susan M. Reynolds March 08, 2007
