The light was perfect in that first shot.

You captured these shots at a perfect time. Each is wonderful on its own; it's even nicer as a series.

Did the late queens of France really love anyone? Did anyone really love them?

I love the light in your first shot. But on closer inspection, he seems to be missing "something". ;-)
