To me the shot of the lady in the lavender jacket kind of stands out as
being really very good.

And the couple with the lady with the red hair really works very smoothly to
me. bet they thought that was the best picture ever taken of THEM! Ever or
in the past decades.

But the lavender lady to me gets into a real "art" realm.
Its better than what a portrait studio would do.
Or they would do it and not even look twice at at.
Perhaps a tad light at least on my screen and an inch too much space above
her head in my opinion. But that's a real grabber!
