    I came across this couple sitting waiting for a bus.

    How do you know they’re a couple?

    In the sense that there are two people and two is usually a couple. I don’t know if they were waiting for a bus either but I was.

    Could use a bit more contrast IMO… but its such a nice sentiment to catch at all.. Love it :)

    I am going to have another try at post processing it but it’s the subject matter that I found appealing as I don’t usually have the hard neck to take street shots.
    Thanks for your comments.

    Love the heart shaped composition,the two heads and the angle of the girls arm…Ahhhh L’amour :)

    A couple? No, I think it’s the new way of asking someone for a light instead of ‘Gis a light mister’ and thumping the head off you :D

    (Mental note: Start carrying a lighter!)

    I think I’d rather get thumped by a bloke than kissed by him :lol:

    At first I wasn’t particularly drawn to this and I’d tend to agree with Lorraine in that it’s a little flat and could do with a touch more contrast. But then when Noely made the comment about the love heart and I looked deeper, I thought.. WOW. Ok, it may not have been intentional in the composition, but it makes all the difference between an OK and a really nice shot. Well done.

    There was a famous french photographer who captured images such as this,particarly in paris when the soldiers returned from the war. Very sweet as he photographed them seeing their girlfriends/wives for the first time since they parted,must find out his name,will get back to ya..

    I think you mean Robert Doisneau (probably spelled wrong) ?

    I have had a new go at post processing this file. The crop is different. Any advice please on getting the background to be less intrusive?

    You definately brought up the contrast , that looks great ;) But in my oppinion the original crop worked better … the love heart shape etc.

    I dont find the background particularly disracting – you could try a lens blur effect in PS ?
