[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
They are my friends, and I took photos for them at one park here in Texas. I did it during early in the evening and so using the sunset light as you can see yellow there. I asked them to walk around the place so that I can capture their actions from different angles. I photoshopped this picture by making it more blurry, dreamy. Created new layer and used Guassian blur by 5% and then reduced the opacity by 24%. Here it is.

My 200mm 2.8L works so well here. I standed really far away from them.

Hi Sothy,

nice scene and a good decision to apply this type of ps. But I don't like here the POV - the photo would be much more interesting if you choose another POV - let's say similarly acute angle with respect to them, but from the front. In that way you'd show emotions on their faces. tfs

This is excellent work, Sothy! The saturation and light is fantastic! The PP work just adds to it.

It looks like a brochure-cover photo (maybe for health insurance ... hehe)

Hi Sothy,
Very good image. Great how you isolated the people and blurred the background. This makes the people look even sharper.
Good colors.
greetings,
Joop!
