A Shot That Spoke...To Me

I wanted to tell her that she looked beautiful. I didn't. Because she didn't look beautiful. 
She was beautiful.

Often pictures speak to the viewers. Sometimes they speak to the maker than to the viewer. I had this experience just recently. I am a landscape photographer and love being outdoors,away from the crowd. Not that I hate people, but just that I am not good with having an interaction while clicking photos. I like to be alone and get immersed into the surrounding landscape. Naturally, I tend to go away from people. And when I am around a few, I search for the faces and expressions from a fair distance. That too very rarely. 

And one such click in the recent couple of days made me write the first 2 lines in this post. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. True. But not always. Sometimes it emanates from within the beholdee. I am not sure if I will be able to post the picture here, but I sure wanted to post my thoughts about it. And I did just that.
