Thank you Terry, glad you enjoyedVieri,
Lovely series. I particularly like on Charles Bridge 2.
Thanks Jack, much appreciatedNice series indeed! I like Kampa Island 1
Me too Jack . Like that open space
Thank you guys, I also like to have room in my pics sometimes - I find myself (and maybe I also find it a general tendency) sometimes getting too close, and I feel this detracts a bit from telling the whole story. Glad you enjoyedI agree; excellent series. I also like the use of space. DR
Todd, thanks for your comment - this is actually an ongoing project, I still haven't set an ending date to it though but there will be an exhibit (and maybe a book too). Thanks again!Wonderful photographs...
Do you have a project in mind or are these singles?
Todd
Thank you!!Bravo Vieri!
Thank you Cindy, I am flatteredVery inspiring.
Hans, well spotted, and well analyzed as always. To me, the important part is their hugging and looking away, rather than the object of their looking; is our looking at them looking, rather than discovering what they are looking at. I do see your point, though I not necessarily find it a discrepancy or an inconsistency... Thanks again for looking and criticizing, much appreciatedTechnical perfection aside, I stumble over an inconsistency in the first pic. We see a couple looking at something – the picturesque old town – that is for us out of focus. We cannot see distinctly what they conjointly admire in their state of increased sensibility, and therefore we cannot visually share their experience. This is a salient break with the tradition of images where the external viewer quasi is invited by the viewers inside the image to share the revelation of the depicted beauty. Is there a deeper meaning for this break or is it just the either–or of noctilux? Confer the couple in the second pic in this respect. They are concerned with each other, with the exchange of endearments, not with turning their attention to something else. In this case the focusing appears consistent and particularly harmonious with the position in the light of the lantern. Or is the first pic to be read ironically in the sense that the couple in love are only apparently looking at something beyond themselves or that amorous glances see the outer world only out of focus?
