lovely sentiment here -- and i love how water can either bridge distances, bringing people places and things together or it can separate the same things, making contact near impossible. excellent mood and presentation!!!

Another of your stunning high contrasted B&W with human story included, and the title is so good too ! Did they argue, are they together, or will be ? So many questions and threads your photo propose, and i love that ! Thks, Sharon*

She looks so pensive, I wonder what she's thinking? There's an air of mystery here and it adds to the mood of this excellent mono image!

I remember that moment! You show exactly what I felt and I love it!
The man at the up-left and the woman at the right create perfect diagonal.
Did you think to crop the woman at the up left (near the man)?
