Hi Ken,

Very cute moment and very nice setting. The shadows and light warmth don't seem to indicate a low sun?

Cheers,

Hisham.

Hisham,

You are correct, my memory failed mesad

The image was taken at 16.02 local time around 2 hours before sunset.

You had enough sun angle to provide nice light in the eyes.  This image has a pleasing serenity.  Well done.
