paul_roach3 0 Posted June 19, 2002 If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this picture would be a novel! Good job! Link to comment
enrico 0 Posted June 20, 2002 It's so nice. It makes me think about some peaceful moments I lived during some journeys. Link to comment
mark_l 0 Posted June 20, 2002 A great photo in terms of being at the right place at the right time. Excellent blurring of the background, while foreground stays static. Nice dynamic between the stationary couple, and the hustle and bustle of life around them. Great job! Link to comment
stacey_demarco 0 Posted June 21, 2002 ...a previous comment was right on...this photo is definitely worth more than a thousand words. As I mention often...I love b & W. The lighting is great. How did you achieve the blurring of the background while keeping the forground so focused? I'm starving for knowlege...thanks. Link to comment
barb_surgeon 0 Posted June 21, 2002 I'd have preferred a slightly less centered composition. But then again, if I'd taken a picture this good, I'd have been smiling for about a year. :) Link to comment
angelo_gordini 0 Posted June 24, 2002 The contrast between the stillness of the couple and the movement of the other people is very effective. The stairway on the left is a bit distracting, and I'd like an even more statical composition to enhance this contrast, but it's really a nice photo. Link to comment
Timo Hartikainen 556 Posted June 25, 2002 Very beautiful photo. One of the best photos here at photo.net in my opinion. Link to comment
paul_crowder 0 Posted June 26, 2002 My only complaint is that you don't have any more photos posted! I can't wait to see more of your work. Link to comment
kang_liat_keng1 0 Posted June 26, 2002 you must be a film director or something. Especially for such a romantic scene in black and white. Link to comment
stik 0 Posted June 29, 2002 Time passing by, and people passing by -- but the lovers are careless and timeless... Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted July 8, 2002 Motion blur done in Photoshop (for the walkers at least, the train looks more natural and may have been actually moving at the time)? Please deny - or confirm Link to comment
ruicardoso 0 Posted July 10, 2002 Just to answer Michael Bender's question, all I did in photosop was: crop, levels, resize, and unsharp mask... This means: all the motion efects are real, the picture was taken at 1/20s f16 with the lens at 300mm, the train is mooving fast, the persons in the backgrond are walking, the two lovers are just not moving.

Guest Guest Posted July 13, 2002 Re: previous explanation. An excellent use of motion effects to convey a nice scene/idea then. Congratulations Link to comment
hatless 0 Posted July 24, 2002 Very nice, but the centering is a little distracting. Try cropping both the right and the left and see what you get with a squarish composition. If it doesn't look good, forget what I said. Nice shot with good tonal balance. Link to comment
yazan 0 Posted August 6, 2002 I won't repeat what has already been said about how excellent this shot is, though I believe it is great. I wish you you had the two lovers shifted to the left, this would have eliminated most of the distracting glass rail and might have enhanced the kinetic elements of the photo, the centered figures are killing this. But then again I am not sure what was there on the right, this could have worked if there more people in motion there, while an empty sidewalk would have been an overkill. An excellent shot overall.
