A green (traffic) light for their romance.
When I saw this couple cuddling at Berchem station, and I noticed the sunset's reflection in the building behind them, I grabbed the camera...

As the light was fading fast - and as I metered on the building - the picture turned out a bit dark and grainy. I thought it would fit in nicely with Per's theme.

The bright spot between the guy's arm is actually a green traffic light. I left it in deliberately, instead of cloning it out. A green light for their romance...

Tech talk

Croppity-crop (turned a shot in portrait mode to landscape mode).

Added Frank's framing.

Boosted saturation to 140.

Added some extra grain, as the theme demands.

Nice entry for Per's theme. The lighting is just right. And perfect for some romance on the railway station. Well spotted.

I must say this is a very positive contribution to the theme and for that I thank you. And nevertheless there is a very fascinating almost threatening city landscape in the background. The extra grain doesn't come through very much here, but I am glad you respected that important rule.
