Signore Silvestro, you've been sitting at the top part of my statistically favourite photographers, but I hesitated to add you to the list of my favourites. But, this image pushes the button so strongly, that I can't resist. I'm happy to add you to the list of people whose photos I eagerly wait.

I gave 9 to the romance bench and I didn't vote this challenge. I agree with you, this is a better photo.

Technically, this photo is not good at all. In fact, it's terrible. I guess it can be used as a textbook example on fixing mistakes.

But, the emotion that this photo conveys, the genuine smile and the placement of the hand close to heart, is so powerful, that only soulless people can't feel. This photo deserves much much more.

Good luck with the next challenges.

I'm ashamed, so very ashamed for voting low this photo (no, it wasn't 1 neither 2, neither 3). I hope adding this to my favourites will fix the damage.

I like the expression of her face. A great photo from many points of view.

Thanks for the reply. I never thought of using a photography as a mirror, that is, to see the photographer, instead of the photographed. Thanks for that insight. But, I use that technique for voters, that is, by voting I don't only judge the photographer and the photography, but primarily myself. Just for the record, I didn't vote on this challenge, because it was really tiring: so many wonderful and extremely well done shots. And, your photo was one of the most difficult ones to vote.

As for the pattern in the photo, I saw it and I liked it, but I don't really know if the blur helped it. Now I know that the patterns are not the focus of the photo, but photographer's mind.

I understand the blur applied to people: I guess it's meant to mean that those people are faceless, or dynamic, or forgotten, or whatever, but always with a sad and depressing feeling. But, I don't understand the blur in structures, buildings, and shots that aren't abstract enough to be abstract. I'd appreciate if someone would explain to me what is blur doing to this photo?
To the author: I hope you take pictures for your and our enjoynment, but not for the vote of the anonymous Mr. Joe from DPC.

A beautiful photo of a flower, but I don't see romance in it, just a flower. 5
