Beautiful Jeroen! Lovely exposure, color, composition, and detail. This is an excellent example of how to make the most of limited depth of field, very nice.

Super sweet image design, colors and subjects. Not to mention two perfect head angles. Note to Kerry: as distance to the subject increases (as with these small in the frame subjects), d-o-f increases dramatically. Jeroen, Sorry that we were unable to hook up.

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for your comment on this image and no worries about not being able to meet up as we will give it another try next year (hopefully with better weather..:)-

That's a stunner! Love the color palette.

This is quite beautiful, love the composition. The fg and bg are great.

Wonderful composition, colors, and poses, Jeroen. A real stunner.

Beautiful, Jeroen! Lovely composition and those EYES! :c3:

Can only reflect on others comments, this all come together very nicely

Beautiful image, and a very good observation about DOF. It's so dependent on magnification. That's why telephoto and macro both have limited DOF.

Hi Jeroen, looks like the great replies will T you up nicely for Texel. Having the opportunity to view the image larger, it just works so well, and therefore my suggested thought, is just a thought as we discussed, LOL. Have a great trip, talk later.

All the best.

Very appealing image of this attractive couple. Great colours, comp. The one preening adds interest to the image...

Incredible image Jeroen! I like the colours, poses, IQ and composition.
