A warm conversation

by davidstorm

Firstly, before explaining this picture, sincere thanks to AndrewA for inviting us down to Staveley Hall Garden Centre this morning to take some shots for the owners to use on their website.

While at the Garden Centre I met this lovely couple who are the parents of the Garden Centre owners. They were enjoying a lovely warm conversation with me and each other and I hope this is captured here.

It all shines through in this shot David, a lovely and natural capture of two people at complete ease in each others company, a great capture

A quick edit, really good DOF as well with the bloke visibly smiling but slightly OOF

An engaging shot. I love the shallow depth of field.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I think it's that depth of field that makes the shot so charming!

I'll add my thanks to David's too.

I think this is an excellent capture, would never have thought about taking this myself. Works very well in B&W.
Cheers
