Though you say "Critiquing my snaps are always welcomed", but you leave no room for criticism. :) Your photos are always so perfect and compelling. When I see your photos, I naturally feel and re-live those moments rather than judging by their technical specs (of-course they are technically top notch as well). All the series you have posted in NG, I will remember for very long time, including this one.
#3 and #5 are my fav in this series. #5 looked like shot under harsh lighting, yet beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!
