Congrats Francois - this is the kind of shot that has a timeless and universal appeal, and though it's kind has been done so many times, no two are the same, making this one perfect.

my blue ribbon winner. really love this one.
02/27/2007 09:50:05 AM
Very nice, would have done well in the Street Photography challenge also.
02/27/2007 09:03:19 AM
I like it a lot - especially all the other figures facing away from the camera - helps the composition a great deal. I would maybe have cropped in both sides a bit.
02/27/2007 08:36:40 AM
The winner by far in my opinion. That evokes the feeling and remembrance of love past and present. Very nice work. 10.
02/27/2007 01:29:18 AM
something missing...
02/26/2007 05:27:43 PM
one of my ribbon picks -- could have worked for street scenes as well, like the b&w effect
02/26/2007 04:39:26 PM
Great shot.
02/25/2007 10:28:09 AM
Very nicely done.. great tones, and I like how the subjects are brought out a bit by the fact that each persons jacket is against opposite colors.
02/24/2007 02:50:51 PM
Awwww
02/24/2007 08:07:11 AM
beautiful capture.
02/24/2007 03:25:07 AM
Good use of selective focus.
02/24/2007 12:23:12 AM
LOVE: All-weather, yet never all-weathered! :)
02/23/2007 01:33:38 AM
great composition. Black-n-white touch makes it more attractive
02/22/2007 10:22:01 PM
I'm not sure if I love this depth of field or if it's distracting to have "random man walking away" in focus along with the lovers. But it's different. Different is good.
02/22/2007 07:53:32 PM
great candid and excellent use of DoF
02/22/2007 05:11:28 PM
Nice, perhaps a little less DOF?
