I'd say this. I think I'd use "are looking lovely" in the case of a woman who is dressed up for a special occasion - standing before me - not in a photo.

Thank you Regards. But how if we use "dashing" or other words instead of lovely?

Certainly not. When you see someone in a photo, they are already there, so to speak. It's a "dry" fact.

The way someone looks in a photo is always the same: it's not going to change now or even in ten years.

However, when you meet someone you know, you can use the present contin
