HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Funny story. My wife Lisa has a new product being released soon and her publisher needed an author/artist photo. So she made herself up and we went out to our garden during the golden hour to take some photos. I shot about 60 frames and some even turned out halfway decent. After we were done and while she was taking off her shoes inside the front door, I snapped off a candid shot or two. The light was low so the shutter speed was slow, and these last spontaneous photos came out a bit blurry. Looking through them later on the computer, Lisa chose this as her favorite. The last shot of the day. Even with the blur and the busy background. Fortunately the author photo will be small, so the blur won't be a factor, but it is funny how the best laid plans can come to naught, and a chance shot ends up the winner. Have a terrific Valentine's Day everyone! -----

A beautiful portrait of your wife, she looks happy and at ease. That is a lovely little poem for her two. I hope you had a romantic valentine's day.
She is beautiful and so is this shot. I am sure you are very proud of her. Her artwork is magnificent too.
great portrait....
Great shot of Lisa, yeah, that sure is funny how you plan a shot, only to have the disposable one as the best...hehe ! Good luck with her new product! ~Cheers~
It's a great shot! I can see why she likes it.
Beautiful portrait! She is lovely!
Ah yes, the best laid plans oft go astray :o) ...this is a fabulous shot of Lisa ! ....well done Kort !
A lovely portrait!
a stunning portrait. Not the perfection makes an image to an artwork..... Your woman has made a good choice!
a wonderful photo of your beautiful wife
Spontaneous portrait are usually the best and this is a wonderful one. You always seem to capture the true personality with shots like this. Tony :-)
A big thank you for this touching Valentine.
Beautiful capture of her. Aloha
candid pics usually tend to be better I think as the person is relaxed, as looks Lisa here. Good luck to her on the new venture and I hope the two of you had a fabulous Valentines Day.
You're a very lucky man! Great candid portrait!!
She is truly beautiful and I can see why she chose this shot - it is so natural and as you say, a candid capture. She has beautiful eyes and a warming smile - you are a lucky man indeed to have such a treasured beauty as your Valentine, 365 days of the year! Hugs Chrissy xx
what I adore most in portrait is the natural look which is present here 1001% and don't forget to tell Lisa that some Russian guys think she's absolutely beautiful and she know that. thank you for your happy birthday message, Kort! it's never late...
Throughout the past weeks I've been too pre-occupied to catch everything. This one I missed, but am making up for lost time. This is an excellent portrait! I do like the natural look - and much better than posed and contrived. I think this is an excellent choice for the purpose.
