Steve, I like this set of photos for their overall IQ and believe you are on the right track. Last photo reminds me of a married couple not agreeing with each other. My $.02 which is my opinion, I would value your opinion way above any other.

My first thought about the last image was "Fine Date you turned out to be" only because I've been in that moment:
but on a deeper note, I don't put enough thought into my images. I can get them in focus and have quite good blurred backgrounds but they still lack something and that to me is a story. I want to take great images not just "nice" images. Thanks for your comments Greg and your opinions are valued believe me.Jan 23, 2018 07:22:11 #

Steve, one item that has stuck with me for over 50 years, telling a story is our goal if there is a story to tell. Documenting what we see through our lenses is just as important because most of our photos are not meant to tell a story but a place in time.

Greg, we can interpret what we see in different ways, in the angle of view, the direction of light, expression etc, I feel that we can manipulate the moment ( a place in time ) with imagination and creativity. The story is only limited by the boundaries of our mind. I may sound crazy but I have created erotic forms using only petals and leaves. Now, in my retirement, I don't want to be constrained by boundaries and limitations I want to soar like an eagle not fly like a sparrow.
