A wonderful moment and nice composition. I wish the image quality was a bit higher (more depth of field, less detail loss from the glass window), but it is a very pleasing image as posted.

That is just the best pose. I really like how you've framed the cones.

I go along with Rich D's thoughts on this shot John. A great comp for sure. Just the loss of detail do to that darn glass.

A great pose and head angle John, love how those legs are spread. I do think the glass affected the IQ, but I still find this enchanting.
