It is an overcast day today so told my husband it's perfect for getting an image of us at the park.....no harsh sun to deal with. Set the tripod up and took 3 pics and he was ready to go back home. But think I got one good enough for Christmas cards this year which was my goal.
Oh, you definitely did well! As you said, no shadows to deal with and the colors are clear and beautiful. Will make a terrific Christmas card shot. (Quite a good looking couple!)
