Lakeside Love

I saw this couple enjoying a sunset, lakeside, down at Forest Park this evening. I can always count on finding something interesting to see there. What a lovely setting.

Thanks for treating my black-eyed Susan shot so kindly. It cheered me up.

I appreciate your visits and comments, as you have time to give. Take care, all!

What an idyllic setting; it looks so peaceful.

[Trisha Ford]

Lovely mood in this photo! So sweet!

[Jane Anderson]

What a find, and the light is like a delicate spotlight--perfect!

Wonderful capture of a special moment between to people obviously in love! Fav!

[Maggiemae]

Still very light at this time - the streak of sun on the other side of the lake is outlined so nicely! The two sitting on that stone will probably fall off!

[Taffy]

This is so cool -- your lighting on them is terrific and it's a very sweet moment captured.

[Rosie Kerr]

@maggiemae I don't think that they will mind. ;) My camera is a wonder, so that helps with the light... and so does Lightroom.

[Kareen King]

So romantic! Fav.

[Susan C Clow]

Such a pretty setting the romantic addition adds to the loveliness of the shot. FAV

[Gabrielle Snyder]

Beautiful shot -- wonderful lighting

I like the square format and their position in it with the splash of blue.

[Debbie]

so nice and the golden light around them is gorgeous!

I love the lighting on the couple - seems like it was placed there exclusively for them. Interesting composition and format which you have chosen. The trees in the background makes their central placement work quite well. I would probably have taken away about half or more of the foreground grass, but somehow it seems to work the way you have it - seems to reinforce the spot of light on the couple...

[Marta]

Gorgeous on black! I love the composition and the light.

[Danny G.]

Lovely capture!

[Sheralee S]

It sure is a pretty setting. Is there something written on the rock or is it a watermark. Beautiful shot.

[Rosie Kerr]

@bella_ss Sharp eyes! It says "Post Dispatch Lake." The St. Louis Post Dispatch is the local newspaper. :)

[Rachel]

Beautiful light and colours! Love it!

[Kim Harper]

Sweet photo. Yes, Forest Park is a great place any time of day, but especially at sunset.

[Gayle Sears]

Wonderful capture. The lighting seems to be focused on them.

[Sheralee S]

@rosiekerr thanks Rosie.

[Kathy]

Nice find.

[Danette Thompson]

Lovely, timeless shot.

[Marnie]

Very sweet Rosie, well captured. The lighting is great, and the contours of the vegetation makes the centring of the pair work very well. I was intrigued by the lettering on the rock (didn't look like graffiti), thanks for the explanation.

How sweet and romantic
