Thanks for watching and the comments.

Great pic. Very intimate looking moment. I like the placement of the branch they are sitting on. IMO the little leaf and stalk spoil an otherwise perfect background. Would you consider removing it?

Gerard, thanks for the compliment and the suggestion. Yes, I am considering to clone it out.

Very nice indeed. Perfect lighting and background. I'm not sure about cloning out the leaf. Maybe it would look better, but I think it also helps to anchor the image a bit. So that we still know this is a branch in nature. But either way would work I guess.
