Looks a little better viewed large.

Very nice Gene. I like the grass by the pond to make it look more natural. While I love shooting at Santa Clara, their ponds are kind of "stale" looking

Great low angle, setting and great to have two in the frame, Gene.

The grass is yellow because it was 24 degree just a couple of days earlier.  Very cold for South Texas.

A very pleasing pair- love the setting and their "togetherness".
