Love Always
Love Always
Re-post (for the monthly theme) of an image I originally posted in October.
This image was a gift to my wife on the occasion of our 22nd anniversary and features my wedding ring.
This time I desaturated all but the ring - much better I think.
F/20, 1/15s, ISO-200, Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens.

  Thanks Shelly. How do I manage such a "great" shot? One word . . . VOLUME. Even monkeys can type Shakespeare, given enough paper and time. Keep shooting (and shooting, and shooting)! Best Regards, Steven

  We all agree this is a wonderful photo, but I would have to say your wife is a very lucky woman. The thought you put into this just shows how much you love her. If I were her I would cherish this forever.

  I have "always" admired this photo. I was surprised to see that I did'nt comment yet! Beautiful and sentimental image. One sure sign of a truly magnificent photo is if it lingers in our thoughts and can be easily visualized without actually seeing the photograph. This is one of those photos! Congrats! Lynn

  This picture has been done sooooo many times. It's getting quite old. Fantastic picture overall. But people need to start getting original.
