This is clever. Good choice to make the photo within pure B&W.

My parents as young people in a double exposure

That is a fun old image with the double exposure. Feels like more of a photo of a photo rather than a story using a photo within a photo.

Thats exactly what a comment on a photograph is, an opinion, and last I checked, yes, that would be a personal opinion. Comments are made during the voting period and are generally a first reaction to the photo.

In this case, I believe my original comments are merited. I did notice the blurry movement (increase the shutter speed and/or ISO to eliminate that) and that the composition is tight on the feet (provide more breathing room at time of capture for adjustments). Sure ... it is a pretty photo, but that does not mean it is perfect.

So, I suggest either ignoring my comments, or getting some thicker skin? You two have been around the block long enough to handle some criticism or should be at least.

And we wonder why people are afraid to comment truthfully anymore. If its not all praise and sunshine some people just cant handle it.

:-) Well, I wasn't sure. I'm not familiar with those sheep that look kind of grungy when they have that long hair on them. And with noise reduction and sharpening nowadays, well ... hmm. Got me. :-P

From the Trees to the Sea

Lovely scene. Did you consider framing you composition with just part of the tree showing by eliminating the left side of it? Hard to know without seeing it. It's just that, as is, it feels a little out of place and distracting.
