Eldest step daughter Melinda who we have not seen for 4 years, arrived out of the blue with the new man in her life. While out showing them around set up the camera while they were talking and joking with each other, and took some shots, these are not posed for, being natural and candid in their actions.

I didn't see this as being posed at all - I thought it a wonderfully warm moment captured. It's very apparent she's quite taken with the gentleman! Beautiful light - very well processed to bring out the essence of the shot.
Hi Brian! That is a nice moment you captured! The connection between those 2 pours out of this photo. How nice to see your step-daughter after 4 whole years! They look so happy!
the size differance feels rather unnatural, if she is sitting then perhaps we need to see that. If he really is that tall then perhaps he could kneel :) I like the dappled light
