'Love's Unique Expressions'

Love can have many unique expressions. Here it seems to involve a

fast food hamburger, a cup of hot java, and a quick, surprise pinch

toher nose.

Your ratings, critiques and observations are invited and most welcome.

A nice grainy, gritty documentary image. I like the detail in the background of the girl and the images on the wall. Nice one!

Hope all is well. Regards Doug

This is your famous worldwide fast food restaurant -- a luxury in Ukraine, so either they're fairly wealthy or 'out on the town'.  There are rich, or very wealthy, people in Ukraine, including a billionaire or two -- oligarchs -- but the once-swarming McDonald's don't require a 15-minute wait behind huge counters with multiple clerks, any more -- they all have a record number of registers.  They're now only busy as opposed to being 'superbusy' before the economic crisis and a currency devaluation a few years ago.

As I was leaving the upstairs, I sat down when I saw the two hugging and prefocused my camera when they weren't looking, then finished my soft drink and reviewed the day's captures.

He started getting frisky and she also; he tapped her nose a few times, she withdrew, and he did it again, which seemed to delight her, and I sensed something unusual or photo worthy would happen.

Finally he went for the nose grab; it's recorded here. 

I got it just right.

(The grittiness is due to camera failure - the battery was low, and it apparently affected the quality of the exposure which came out dark, a rarity for this trustworthy camera -- something that never happened before, so I fixed this lone exposure in 'raw'.

That's why so grainy.

I don't think it hurts a bit, though, and I don't see that you do either.

Thanks for the helpful comment.
