These photos are just exquisite! You might say each is better than the others.

Jasper shows a lot of personality in the loving look he's giving to (I presume) Brenna in the first photo.

The mist that envelops the conifers and the white of the water in the second photo convey non-visual aspects of the place, like dampness on the skin, and aquatic rushing in the ear. Did you adjust your exposure time to achieve this, or did it just happen?

Also, the third photo's depth of field is remarkable. So much is in focus, inviting my eyes to rest on every detail in view.

I love this post! Thanks for sharing.
