This photos are so beautiful and magical. It was a pleasure to see them.

So very beautiful. Love the composition, the tones in the flowers, the square format, and the borders/edges.

Personally I don't think the clouds are cloned. This looks to me like it was taken with the white balance set to daylight and that the colors weren't manipulated too much after that. To me it's possible the colors of the scene combined with the white balance could have produced these colors.

Wonderful composition, very thought provoking

I like how the background and surroundings look realistic and atmospheric. I like the shallow depth of field, with the focus on the figures, and the darkness of the figures compared to the lightness of the background. However, where are they going? They look as if they are in the process of going somewhere, yet their feet are firmly planted. So they’re not walking. They’re standing in place. That makes the photo look more posed, to me. Also, are they poor? Their clothes look a bit new. I’ve looked at the other photos in the photographer’s portfolio, and in one of them, the upscale woman in the city getting her shoes shined seems to be wearing the same coat as the woman in this photo.
It’s an interesting idea, almost like a movie still. But I’m not sure what the interaction between these two people is supposed to be. They don’t seem to be interacting with each other in any way. It’s like the photo could stand alone with either one of them airbrushed out, leaving only one figure. Is the woman her mother? Are they on speaking terms? Why is the woman turned sideways but seemingly looking past the girl? All of this said, this is a high level of scrutiny for any photo to withstand. Good job by the photographer on creating this interesting photo.
