    Looking into the future, scary!
    Great composition and the lighting makes this photo perfect, BTW!

      Yeah, I felt a sense of looking into a mirror of sorts.

      Thanks a lot. I was really pleased the way it came out, so that’s wonderful to hear!

    Stunning picture. Love the contrasting theme of this. Please tell me this was more than just good timing. How do you always find these great moments? 🙂

      Thanks a lot!

      I saw them both, and so wanted to get a photo of them together, but obviously luck played its part. Was fortunate in the way they moved, allowing me to get the shot I did. But to a certain extent I think you make your own luck, and for me that means being out and about every chance I get. And when you are out, things can sometimes happen!

    Great shot! Luck/timing – it would take a lot of planning to get this shot if you were trying to manipulate it into being. Look at the way the wind is moving her hair just-so. The sunlighting. And again – great shot!

      Thanks a lot!

      Yes, on the street, planning something like this would be nigh on impossible. It’s more a case of trying to capture as best you can whatever presents itself.

      So many great possibilities slip by due to all manner of reasons, but now and again when things do come together, it’s a great feeling.

    Great timing! Love it! 🙂 But present and the future or future and past?
