Yeah, the rocks totally make this shot. I find the overall effect to be a
cross between calmness and turbulence, and I find that fascinating.

Hey, I never noticed that turn in her lips. Well done! :)

I love the shine on the roads on the right hand side, like after fresh

Isn't that a great street shot? I love it. The faces are perfect... not
