Default Ahhhh, to be 20 again!

Hi all!
Just having fun with some impromptu shots and thought I'd share them. Trying to work on taking portraits and enjoy some of the more candid ones. Practice, practice! Maybe one day I will get good at this and it will all come so naturally!!
Hope I'm posting this correctly....
Have a great day!
Ruth

Those are very nice, Ruth. I think you did a great job. The exposure is excellent on all of them. And I'd love to be 20 again!!! It's been way too long since I was there.

Those are all nice but the last one is my favorite. Great perspective and depth of field.

All very nice shots, but I must agree, that last one is absolutely wonderful!!! I like everything about it, and it speaks volumes. Nice capture.

Ditto on the above remarks. These all came out well but that last one really stands out. They look like a happy couple and should be more that pleased with your work. TFS.

Thank you, thank you everyone! Love getting the groups feedback & hearing your thoughts. I really liked the 4th one too when I took it. Glad I got it in that fleeting moment.
