I'm with vawendy--the backpack emphasizes the authentic nature of the story. If this was a set up shot, the backpack would have been moved out of the picture. As it is, it's part of the story. good one!

Sometimes photograpy isn't about technical perfection. Sometimes it isn't about posing. Sometimes it isn't about any of the things that we here at DPC, demand of an image.

Photography, literally translated, is "Writing with light." In this case, the light has written a love story. Fortunately, you were there to capture the moment for posterity.

Was the lighting perfec? No.
Was the pose perfect? No.
Was the composition perfect? No.
Was the post processing perfect? No.

Was the story perfect? Yes!

Thank you for sharing this incredible moment.
