Enveloped in the moment

Fujifilm Xpro 2 | XF23mm | f8

I could see this couple sat just off the path. I was drawn first of all to their contrasting, vibrant rain macs against the backdrop of dark green foliage. Then there was the fact that they were dozing or just blissfully enveloped in the music. A touch of romance or close company in holding hands. The carton of orange juice off to the side, much like our British picnic earlier.

It was a great image, but I hesitated at first to take it. I didn’t want to intrude on their moment. Always I feel a tinge of guilt. But then I think, they would have loved the photo. If they had opened their eyes, I would have quite happily shown it to them. A couple truly enjoying the moment.
