Red Shirts on Beach

If I have one photography goal this year it is to get over my hangups about asking people if I can take their picture. 

I saw these two on the west bank of the icy Mississippi River the other day. They were young and healthy romantics with good hair and were wearing red. They were gorgeous. All I wanted to do was say, "hey, you're gorgeous, give us a pose eh" then pop off a few shots. Instead, I let them be, because who wants to be complimented? 

I did take one creeper photo for the blog. I like it, but it could have been so much better if I had decided to bother the couple.
