25 years in love Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was following this couple for a few minutes, while wandering around the magnificent Amber fort, about 12 km from Jaipur. They were not holding, or touching, or kissing each other but the affection between them was more than visible.

When I asked them about where they came from, they told that they were from New Delhi, and that they had a second "honeymoon", after 25 years of marriage! I don't know if Valentine's day means anything to them, but I wish to them another 25 happy years together!

*Sorry, I lost exif data. Photo taken with my first compact camera.

Hi Hercules,
Wonderful candid moment that you have captured here and it is a very nice V day post!!The colours are really good and the fort is looking gorgeous.I just would have loved to crop the F/G from bottom till that marble stair starts.
Greetings,
Dhurjati

Really good image for an occasion, Hercules, very balanced with this central perspective, I especially like the symmetry of their postures with their hands on the walls, this surely goes well with the symmetry of the columns...

Cheers
Alexander

Buenos días otra vez... o kalimera.

Ti kaneis?
Foto muy apropiada para el día de hoy, así como también la nota.
Además la foto es de una gran calidad: la composición centrada y que acaba en la pareja, conducidos además por ese pasillo rodeado de columnas.

Un buen trabajo.
Ta leme.

rigoletto (26566) 2008-02-14 3:40

This one looks like a scene from a movie. Excellent perspective and natural pose of the "hunted couple". You did a great job by following them and then talking to them after taking their photos. After 25 years, valentine's day celebration sounds crazy. If they really "feel" it, how lucky they are...
Best,
Deniz

Hello Hercules,

Une photographie qui colle bien avec cette journée ! Les voûtes indiennes forment une sorte de cadre qui enserre ces deux personnes qui admirent la magnifique vue qui s'offre à eux !
Bien vu !

Hola Hercules

Una foto con gran equilibrio y profundidad. Los tonos claros ofrecen una gran calidez a la escena y el contraste con los tonos que tienen los protagonistas al fondo, son significativos.

Las formas de los arcos, así como la posición observadora de los personajes, determinan una gran composición.

trekks (14332) 2008-02-14 18:03

Hi Hercules

I really like their posture, at the balcony overlooking the valley view beyond. I can imagine the legs tired after a long walk and leaning to the side frame for support. Superb composition and pov in this capture, a well thought one. Good exposure metering.

TFS, bill

edytungkal (4519) 2008-02-14 18:16

A romantic candid shot indeed, caught them from the back with beautiful triumphal arc as bg really make it special. Nice picture Hercules, tfs

Une photo des plus romantique dans un merveilleux décor. Les arches sont superbes et les couleurs fantastiques et la robe rouge ajoute est un à la beauté de la photo. Bien choisie cette photo à l'occasion de la St-Valentin, fête des amoureux.
Félicitations!... et merci de partager une si belle photo,

mariandrea (973) 2008-02-14 22:43

Hi Hercules, great notes and a picture that follows it... The point of view with the columns leading to them together in a perfect simetry is brilliant, like an endless love...?. This type of scenes say much more than a valentine´s gift. Well done, chau chau,

Maria

Kalispera Hercules
This is a very pleasing study of two people very relaxed and comfortable in each others company. The beautiful cream coloured arches make a splendid setting for the figures.
Good luck in your new venture, I hope you will find it stimulating and satisfying.
Very best wishes

Γεια σου Ηρακλή!

Τι όμορφο κτίριο..τι όμορφη σκηνή που έπιασες!

Μπορεί το ζευγάρι αυτό να μην είναι αγκαλιασμένο, να μην αγγίζονται, να μην φιλιούνται,αλλά όλοι εμείς που βλέπουμε αυτή την φωτογραφία μαντεύουμε τι νοιώθουν όταν στέκονται πλάι-πλάι απέναντι σε εκείνη την θέα...!

Μου αρέσουν πολύ φωτογραφίες σαν και αυτή ...που εμπνέουν συναισθήματα!

Μαρία

Hercules, c'est une photo très émouvante et très belle. Emouvante avec le couple et son histoire d'amour. La photo est très esthétique avec la perspective d'arcades qui arrive jusqu'à la lumière où se trouve le couple.

Hello Hercules,
This an interesting capture, also because of their poses as they admire the view!
Well exposed in spite of the inside/outside problem, fine details in the old architecture...
Good feeling of depth and attractive colours!

Hi Hercules!
A good note and a wonderful composition.I like how this couple is framed by these pilars.Good depth and great lightmanagement.

Truja (4948) 2008-02-19 3:07

Hola Hércules,
sin duda un largo camino han recorrido juntos esta pareja, y simbólicamente en tu excelente fotografía nos lo muestras: el pasillo formado por estas columnas de solemne arquitectura y que nos conduce al mirador de gran profundidad simula el recorrido conjunto de la pareja por la vida hasta llegar a la actualidad.

Gran composición de excelente POV, perspectiva arquitectónica y envolventes colores!!

Un abrazo compañero, Jordi

kdialyna (3068) 2008-02-20 8:22

Καλησπέρα Ηρακλή.
Απίθανα τα επαναλαμβανόμενα επίπεδα, που οδηγούν το μάτι στο ερωτευμένο ζευγάρι ενώ ταυτόχρονα δίνουν μια πολύ ωραία προοπτική στην σύνθεση.
Μου αρέσει το ότι το ζευγάρι φαίνεται από πίσω δίνοντας έτσι έμφαση στην γλώσσα των σωμάτων τους που τα λέει όλα.
Χαιρετώ
Κώστας.

Hello Hercules,

This is a lovely photograph that you posted last week. They symmetric framing accentuates and isolates the couple. The depth of field is very good, a function of a simple compact digital camera. Well done, Hercules,

Warm regards,

Bulent
