valentine's day, a photo from Ile-de-France, Nord

Photographer's Note

Last days I have disappeared and today I come back... but only to celebrate Valentine's Day and to say you I will come back next weekend (I have a lot of work here on Barcelona and I cannot spend more time to TE).

The photo was taken in Paris last September.
Here you can see a young and happy couple. Probably they don't know Òscar (then, they couldn't be happy).

Somehow I think this is the most appropiate for a day like today.

I hope you like it and enjoy Valentine's Day.

Hi Carlos,
Nice b&w capture for this very special day !
Good pov and perfect idea to focus to the couple at left and leave the rest blurred.
TFS and best regards

Tender scene in the crowd...
They seem be alone...Just one thing is important for them : their emotions. And blurry world around is only like a decoration for their story.
Great capture, intelligent choice of focus.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Fine presentation in B&W. Amazing glance of a man.

hola carlos,

quite expectable to see such scene but with that deep bokeh - it is very well "tailored" to get the best effect of spot-on composition...

best wishes, j.

hola carlos,
I was actually out enjoying my Valentine's day, so I am seeing this a bit late... :)
but still: a great crop, focusing on the couple and blurring the rest (I am sure the world around didn't exist for these two as well...) and the choice for b/w, which seems to me the only possible choice for this kind of shots, make the photo really enjoyable. especially the space distribution is very well thought through.

de la composición.

Enhorabuena Carlos.

Un saludo.

Amor sin fronteras y muy bueno el blanco y negro con el perfecto bokeh . En unos meses regreso tambien a París tras casi 8 años esperando hacer alguna foto medio interesante . Espero que todo esté en orden . Hasta otra

Hola Carlos,
Gran composición y encuadre en ese día.
Muy buena elección de B & W.

Para saludar,

Me encanta tu fotografía, esa nitidez de la pareja en contraste con el resto de la gente, como si esa gente no tuviera amor.

Saludos,
Juan

Buenas noches Carlos,

tenía pendiente votar esta foto. Una muy buena imagen para celebrar es día. Como fan incondicional de las fotos en B&W pues no tengo más que decirte, que es un gran trabajo.

¿todo bien?

Un abrazote,

Gemma

PD: me da un poco de envidia tanto protagonismo al vecino ;)

bukitgolfb301 (53894) 2010-02-18 15:52

Hello my dear Carlos

Sorry for my long absence, one month sanction is just over. Tight and nice framework indeed as usual and very tasteful B&W expression. I like this photo very much.

Best regards and thanks for sharing

Hola Carlos, good use of the zoom to capture this moment of tenderness. Great focus and bokeh, excellent framing on the corner. A hug can be powerful and this one seems full of positive energy. Well chosen for this day.

Hola Carlos,
saps? aquesta és una gran foto, no dic que em recordi la famosa del petó a Times Square en acabar la 2ª Guerra Mundial, pero si que veig que té un esperit molt, molt semblant.
Tendra escena, molt apropiat el B/N, i esplèndida profunditat de camp. Una foto tremenda, felicitats!!
Es mereix estar entre les meves favorites personals.
Una abraçada,
Josep

Aaahhh I missed so many moments in TE. This photo indeed appropriate for Valentines day...

The couple stopped the moment there in the crowd.

Absolutely heart melting photo..

Love it

Classy and touchy - in the same token.
That bent down figure on the right...?
It definitevely adds an element of time to it - does it?

Once more - a good, photographic catch, Carlos.
