this is wonderful ..
it has this weird thing going on where it feels posed yet unposed .. so natural and relaxed ..
on the technical side i'm loving your sepia edit ..
you should hang this in your home if this is your husband .. the camera loves him .. :)

WOW Anita ..
this is such an emotive image .. his eyes have a poignancy about them .. a sadness and wisdom .. and much life experience ..
were you able to get his connect details .. I'm sure this would be a treasured photo ..
on a more technical note .. I'm loving the black and white edit and that gorgeous dof .. xx

a really stunning image .. also whats awesome about it is that it tells a story .. one that could be interpreted differently by different ppl .. which is always good .. :)

WOW .. !!!! .... sublime .. :)
its unfortunate that most ppl equate a holy place with a man made building or edifice ..
when its in nature or in our hearts that the most holiest of places can often be found ..
this is absolutely magic ... the sky is beyond amazing .. like a portal to the divine .. :)
