Great shot.
A teacher of mine said that when you photograph something you care about your love and respect for it has a way of shining through. His point being not to look for "a good photo" but to follow things that have meaning to you.
This picture immediately brought back that memory.
Keep doing what you do!
my equipment is 2 ancient phones - sony and samsung lol. i dont know what kind of camera they have, they are handy for fishing, hiking, and mushrooms hunting, and i really rarely take a photos at such trips.
but i agree with your teacher. i would just add - its not just the case with love, its same with all feelings. fear, anger, happiness - i think it all shines through, no matter the quality
