I'm really into this frame where she's staring out to the water. The light's really nice, and her expression says something, even if the reader isn't sure what it is except instinctively. The portrait with her husband is cool, but the tree is a bit distracting.

I like the frame of with her husband the best. The moment is nice and the light is beautiful...I don't find the tree distracting at all.
