Ok Prantik..

It really took long time for me to understand this photo..
may be toooooooooooooooo tight framing on top not allowing HUG of couple..to understand properly..but though a guy walking with cell phone & after some time I started thinking that yeah..also one girl is hidden behind him..

& at that time..1st few minutes I was thinking that just a GUY is walking & I even started writing comment on that basis..

I was fairly disappointed not to get anything from this photo after seeing 2 beautiful photos that you posted before..& finally I got it..

I am really finding hard that they are hugging..& SHE is there.
I though they are just walking but after seeing her hand & some complex scene..I just untie the complexity of Photo..

Ture..it is interesting to watch & to enjoy the complexity of complex photo..& in for I.e this photo also is quite complex in nature..
But tight cropping is not making this photo complex but sort of confusing..

& rather than enjoying the complexity of complex photo..I was bit confused whether the Way I translating is right or not!!!
Do you see what I mean!!!!

In fact Couple should be at you a bit..I mean she should have been more clear a bit..atleast her body..(Not face) ;)
Saturated colors & dark shadows..& beautiful door..& other charcters of the photo are well doing there job.

Now I am enjoying this photo
Very Happy Valentine's Day

:D

Terrific shot, Prantik, real class! Reminds me quite a bit of Alex Webb. I hope many more call by and express their appreciation for this image. It certainly deserves it. Love the large cropped person on the left pealing away to reveal the tiny people in the back.
Excellent!
Francis

Hey Prantik,
Welcome back! You have been bussy..took a quick back at your pbase stuff..look forward to seeing you post more of them here.
This really is clever...hard to tell there are two people there and I don't know if that is good or bad. It definitely makes you sit and stare for awhile.
It is a bold shot...well done
Cheers
Mark

Beautiful cadrage. I do like the croping of foreground person and all these architecture-and-shadows stuff with tinny people here and there of the background. Like the light and tranquility of the place. And for sure love is in the air. Good thing in february :). Greetings T.

Oh wow Prantik...what a lovely work!! So very strong...so very poignant. I absolutely adore your tight crop and your presentation...very clever. The two lonely people in the background...wonderful.
Imho, I would have preferred you a bit more to the left...adding a bit more dimension to the embracing couple...but nonetheless very original and excellent work.
tfs.

A brilliant perspective. You have a way of framing the essentials in color. Love it.
[I agree with Francis in his Alex Webb reference...it occurred to me also, but I couldn't remember his name first (my degenerating neurons)! Then I read Francis' comment]

HI Prantik,

This is really inventive framing. I like this photo (although I'm not sure that I'm seeing the same image that everybody else: people hugging?)... nonetheless, I appreciate the artistic sensibility displayed here.

Heloo Prantik
It took me a while to see the two people in here, I would agree with your selfassesment that It would have been better to move to the left and capture amore head on view of the couple
however the pov is excellent and it allows us to see two different plaes very well
Regards
Daniel
