NEWLYWEDS ON HONEYMOON CAUGHT ON C AMERA BENEATH THE SPLENDOUR OF MENAII BRIDGE

Sorry for this old chestnut. I have nothing new these days.

All the entries are fine but to my eyes lacked the 'moodiness' I was looking for. The two which stood out for me were Gordon's Dark Dream and Graham's Southwold. I have gone for Gr...
