A lesson for me

I've been concerned my photography has got worse over the last 6 months. That may or may not be true.

I took this about a year and a half ago. It's a significant photo. I took it on the night I got together with an amazing person. Oh how I miss you my love. Whenever I see this image I'll always think of you.

I wondered if it was my equipment. The lens I used to use was a professional Canon lens and since it broke I've had to make do without a replacement.

I used to take a lot longer with my images. This is one of two versions of this image. Some images I'd do several version of then choose the best through a lengthy process. I'd take time to correct a shot carefully and do the fine detail work. This image took about an hours work and I hope the work that's gone into it can't be seen.

I think it's the latter and not the former. Good work takes time.
