Took this on the way back from a picnic with my kids at a local historical site. I think it represents serendipity, at least to me, because when I saw them infront of me, all I could think was 'What a Moment, I Must Capture It!' This is my first entry since joining the website.

Serendipity is a difficult concept to visualize. For me it means being at the right place, at the right time, and being lucky enough to capture something unique. Some of these entries are set up shots trying to illustrate that concept, and some record a serendipitous moment experienced by the photographer themselves. Not sure which this is, but it certainlly has the feeling of being a candid moment. Which makes it all the more successful if it's a set up. A nice composition, and the darkness of the figures against the background is striking.
Let me guess you were visiting somenone and they were going on a picnic... I agree that is a delightful suprise. The pic captures that too. I really like this one. Well done.
One of my ribbon picks this challenge - capture the carefree feeling of the pre-picnic walk (suggestions for improvement?? -- I think I'd like to see the sides cropped - the square image suffers a bit from letting my eye wonder to uninteresting parts of the image instead of down the path of the two subjects.)
For some reason, I think this photo needs something else. I'm not sure what. It almost seems like there are too many "little" pieces...the gravel, the leaves, the bare branches. I would like to see some more contrasting texture maybe?
