Very poetic and sad. It's hard to watch someone walk out of your life, and almost just as hard to be reminded of it. I'm glad you left it how it was, any cropping would damaged the feeling, and the colors are perfect.

Hi Guido,
this photo of yours really touched me very deep...the note, that is. It's so honest and sincere, you did well not to change the picture...it has a strong message as it is.

Touching words for a dramatic shot!
It reminds me to my welcome shot on TE: She is coming back.

Guido, I browsed through your photos and this one tells the nicest story.
I would have cropped it very differently because the girl and her shadow tells the story of the woman walking the path alone.
I think this is a great but sad emotion.
Good work

I agree with you. Taking shots of strangers can be a bit tricky especially if they see you. I have many a shot of the back of people. Your's is so nice though because of that lovely scenery, and also because you were lower than the lady on the hill of sand. I love this point of view. Pity she is in the middle of the composition, but I guess the nice bottom distracted you.
Great shot and well done.

great drama, guido. shooting them at the back... maybe i would have cropped a portion of the sky, saturate color a bit, then lower hightlights a bit to get more details... but like you said you wanted it this way, and honestly i'm already happy with it... nice bottom really.
