So quirky! So joyful!
And so perfectly timed.
One can imagine these two are forever finishing off each other's sentences!
Great shot, Casper

So refreshing George ! Bursting with lightness and joy. Superb quality, I am a fan of freckles, their expressions are fascinating as are the braces :-). Great fun, and so tender too. The best Valentine I've see around.

Have a great one, cupcake.

Irresistible, so funny and cute !

If I'm not mistaken, this is a new edition, isn't it ? Excellent ... And as a former swimmer, it brings back fun memories too !

Brilliant photo, great to have reposted it now !

(Thank you for your last critique, it needed an answer which I've done just now, please have a look, but in short = Flickr is not as bad as you portray it !

Hi George,

Argh! Ginger kids!

I guess it's quite a feat to photograph redheads in Florida with no overexposure(but that small bit on the girl on the right's forehead)...The detail is amazing, and a little scary.

I have a small displeasure: The red light by the left girl's head is distracting.

:))))
I one też są z powrotem z nami.
Niesamowite, szalone, z tego i nie z tego świata.
Szkoda tych rozmów pod tym zdjęciem, co poszły w otchłań sieci, ale czy inaczej dane byłoby nam ponowne przeżycie tego spotkania ? :)))
Czule i walentynkowo T.

Hi George,

I really wanted to crack wise on this photograph, but the more I stare at it the more I realize I just can't find a thing bad or to be smart-assed about it, not at all.

You are a lucky man to have such a female following!

Enjoy your VD (Valentines Day)!

Ah, you lucky bastar*d, George! ;-)

This is the absolute greatest Valentine card I have seen on TE. (seeing all those kitschy, heartsy cliches almost made me barf, until I saw your masterpiece .... I mean it!)

I remember this one, G - brilliant, anthemic really - timing, power and of course... those freckles!

The first time you posted this one, it was love at first sight. I wanted to adopt these two wonderfully smiling girls! And I still want it!
There is so much fun, so much joy coming through this photo. A simple framing, a good use of the DOF, and bang! It's done! With such interesting subjects, what can go wrong? In fact, all can go wrong! Like with every subjects. The secret then? To make them "talk" to you. To create the necessary trust to make them beautiful. You did it. Once again.
I'm following online lessons to use Photoshop. One lesson was "how to get rid of the freckles". What a loss!

Hey George,

This is a hell of a picture. What can I say about it without becoming repetitive and kitsch and dull?

Sublime processing. Fantastic coloration. Brutal human catch. Wow!

Oh god...Maybe it's terrible thing to say but when I look at them I feel itchy..I can't even look..It's a great photo though, those expressions say so much about life, absolutely great! But I'll be scratching for a while..
Have a good week
