Nice shot! Looks as though they are walking on clouds - I like your composition - It does have an ethereal feel to it. Nicely done!

Hi, Paul. Just wish I could have found more time at this site when the wind was blowing, but it's luck of the draw. Many thanks for stopping by. John.

Nice capture. I like the foggy feeling.

I would clone out the odd one that's looking the other way so the remaining 3 are looking the same direction.
