The story behind this image

Here we are again, visiting Conway on the North Wales coast for an evening of sight seeing, coffee, and photography. Life doesn't get much better than this!

I was admiring the wonderful inkblot style reflections of the clouds in the still waters of the Conwy estuary and wondering how best to make an interesting photo of them when I saw this romantic scene in front of me.

Hoping that the couple wouldn't up and leave I quickly composed this shot. With a shutter speed of 30 seconds my chances of getting a shot in which these two were visible was slim.

However, they were so engrossed with each other and with the view that they hardly moved at all!
