Oh, what a fabulous compo : I can picture you waiting for the ideal passing-by and fishing this couple by chance - with the poster of the play and above all this frame in the frame, it's a real piece of art that makes my day ! Bravissimo per il talento !

Great angle on this one with the unsuspecting subjects, like how you have silhouetted the railings but managed to keep the details in the peoples faces

Ah, I'd take issue with the quote - it isn't a terribly helpful generalisation in the 21st century! But I sense you're already addressing that in your picture, which I love, particularly the silhouettes. :-)

...or....a man thinks with his head and a woman thinks with her heart. A phrase used years ago to speak out against war and then followed up by the statement, "If women were in charge, there would be fewer wars"...not saying I agree with any of this...lol...you just triggered memories with your pics and words.

@sherri: Oh I know...all rather absurd if you ask me. For me it's humourous because of the ridiculousness :)
Laurie from New Jersey, United States
This is a great perspective. Nice work.
I have to agree with Ian about the quote...I think Johns Gray's generalization is a terribly shallow view of how men and women define themselves.

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie. Oh I agree...I do not share his views...in fact I find the whole thing rather ridiculous because regardless of gender, people are people. Period.

I like how this so perfectly sews itself into your page . . and the angle is so effective in creating the moment.

I like the oblique angle for this shot. The result is a strong graphic image, the couple and the useful sign that helped title this shot. Well done.

Stephane from United States
I like the combination of your vantage point, the ad on the wall with Venus & Mars quoted on it and the couple. You coming out of the dark . Compare to seeing real gods, the sight of that alien looking couple wearing shades gives a story-telling element. Plato, where artou?
