Summer couples
In the hot summer with broad hats and lose fitting clothing you might find a an older couple in repose. A temple in the distance. A slight rustling in the trees. A small crested bird gliding by.
I took this photo on a tripod for 30 seconds with several neutral density filters. I toned down the highlights in the greens and brought up the highlights overall. I’m surprised how much like a painting this looks like. Because the couple wasn’t perfectly still they blur enhancing the painterly effect. I converted it to black and white as well. Tell me which one you like best. 
To be candid with you, I liked them all. Each one has its own particular charm that pleases the eye. Great job!

I think I like the one in the center best. It looks like an oil painting. Lovely.

I like the close-up of the couple, the long-exposure blur gives it an Impressionist feeling… and the richness of the colors of her hat, his shoes, the hydrangea blooming behind the bench. So satisfying.
