...just a nice Dutch couple... right ?

We see here our Nephew Frans jr. and girlfriend Laura.

Frans is our Benjamin .. He works as an airman, constant in the clouds (^_^)(try to picture him in his unifform girls,a cute tall guy !) Laura is his steady girlfriend, she is not only looking nice, she is very nice as a person ! (pedagogy student)

Ok this photo was taken last Sunday, July 9 on the birthday of the Mother of Frans.. We had a wonderfull family BBQ and watched the Worlcup final.

See my Workshop for another photo .. we all watching the football game!

Thanks for your time Folks

Kind regards

Cute cute John. Good direct photo of a nice couple indead! I like the blurred background and the nature
colours. Realy a cute couplr and a super photo.
I have mine done by you, how much you charge? :-)
Great workshop and good note. Thanks and hugs my best TL friend :-)

A nice portrait John, the shades stickung out into the frame is an effect to make the picture come to life. However, I found the saturation perhaps a bit strong, and not only the background is softened, it shows glow from the foreground too. I would advise to stick to the picture, but redo the softening please.

Very nice portrait you made of them, John.
Very well done.

Nice shot John. Yeah ... They are a nice couple :) I like the way you have left out a bit of her sunglasses out of the frame. Good job.

Hi John,

This is a lovely portrait shot and one that I expect the young couple will treasure for a long time. You did some great PP work to soften the background here and I have to admit that I am dying to know how you created that frame which allows the subject to pop out like that.
Another great composition.
Best regards

Hi John, nice couple, they must be very happy together because they have the same features, (nose, mouth)... usually a good sign :)

Good portrait. And I like very much to see you in the third row at the football World Cup, you have the best spot ;))

Have a great day!

sisy :)

H,John!They looking so happy:)Great portrait...

Hi John,

I read that a good portrait is one where the photographer is able to show a facet of the persona of the subject/s. I think you did it well here. You captured their happy disposition in life in a candid manner. I like the way that one of the subject is looking directly to the camera and the other in a different direction. TFS.

Hi John,

They really look like a great couple! Good PP work to blur out the background. I like the WS too! It's the same what most of us where doing , watching the match!

Well done

Hi John

Maybe I should contact her? I am currently teaching English in Korea, & did not major in Education. But I am coping. I like the superb color in this attractive dual portrait.

Hello John,

I see many comments relating to a portrait yet you have posted this under 'family and friends'. With this in mind a shot well worthy of its place in the family album. Good colour, great PP work. TFS,

Hello again!

Sweet couple indeed! Well presented. You will present them to us, when we will go in Holland , OK ? {^_^)

It was a common occupation on Sunday to watch THE final!
Even up here in Canada! (*_^)
All games of the tournament were available top fans. I recorder about 20 of them to pass to ships when they come in port.

Take care !

Hoi John; portretten is helemaal "mijn ding", vandaar dat ik bij deze foto wat langer heb stilgestaan dan bij "het gemiddelde" van TL. Je kunt aan de ogen van beide mensen zien dat ze qua karakter goed in elkaar zitten. Beiden stralen ze geluk en rust uit en dat komt prima op de foto uit. De foto is min of meer spontaan genomen denk ik he? De pose van de hand van het meisje op de schouders van haar vriend is jammer. Achtergrondblur.....geeft wel een bepaald effect, maar pas op dat de voorgrond daardoor niet "erop geplakt" lijkt te liggen.
Kleur, licht, scherpte: super.
Frame..... hartstikke leuk..... je brengt me op een idee.
Thanks for sharing!
