Magnificent shots Leona, as always. Your pics always have perfect contrast & colour, not to mention composition. Do you do much processing or do you just get it right in the camera?

Cheers,

Gerard

Wonderful Leona. I'm with Moby. No 2 is fantastic. I like the togetherness of them, like they were a married couple! What lens do you use for these shots?
