When you drive past landscapes while on a road trip, sometimes no one puts in much thought into the beauty because it's there and the idea of it disappearing never comes…

Light and shadow are used to create the illusion of depth on the young man’s form; he almost appears to be three dimensional as he gazes at her portrait.
