Evocative .....

Only a photographer would choose a cemery as a "date" destination
Thoroughly approve and boy did you make some fine images; this one's the best imho. Love your ultrawide composition and the way you've worked the lighting. So much technique, with a superb result.

I did opt to leave it as a contribution to the whimsical nature of the image.

Killer shot indeed. Did you opt to leave the flare? maybe remove it, its distracting- but that's probably just my gripe!

Had another shot of Hope standing in the middle and the flare touching her head perfectly but decided to not block teh view to her background instances haha...

Wow, killer image! Very nicely done. Love the light and sharp detail

Ha! Wonderfully well done, even the flare and sunbursts are perfect.

I've not tried eating them. They are not popular eating for the local average white man, I've been told, but I've heard that the Brits like them, and I think African Americans are fond of them too.

not here but we got a phone cam shot later from the southeast

yes and was getting vibed by the shop owner just by having a camera exposed though I'd taken no shots... so only 'snuck' this one when I had a moment of chance..
