together.. having our good moments..

together.. often.. it’s a beautiful thing..
together.. what it’s impossible.. sometime.. becomes dream..
we are not made to be alone.. forever..
we are not made to die.. apart, aside.. forgotten..
it’s our life.. and together it’s often our unambiguous chance...
it could be easy or hard... there’ll be bad or beautiful moments..
it depends.. and often.. it’ll depend just by us..
if you not get along..
if you feel yourself misunderstood..
let it all behind..
dont dismiss everything..
dont let everything go to pieces
you have always to fight.. for things.. that are importat..

together.. having our good moments..
together.. sure we’ll have our good moments.. ;))

catpeople.. is my choise.. (thanks to Ania)

comments and critics are welcome..


some new friends of mine.. a couple!! ;))
Thanks

A superb dual b&w portrait, with good focus on the woman at left. Excellent tonal range & framing. Tfs!

Hello Marco,
Nice subject and encapsulation.
Good BW choice too.
Her smile is genuine and shows happiness on her face.
I see lady in focus, and man a bit out of focus. Is that purposely?
Overall good photo with beautiful note. TFS

Good morning Marco
Great title for a photo that you captured so well.
B&W works well for them with smiles that are really genuine.
Dot

Together when young means love, adventure, frienship, pleasure.
Together when old means reliability, faithfulness,undying love and attention, and when together becomes one by being split the consequences are often drastic regardless of young or old.

Brilliant and moving capture of this couple and the emotion they share.
Perfect focus where it needs to be, artistic really,
great sense of space and dynamics in composition.
Well done Sergio.

Hi Marco,
a smiling face is always mysterious.
good or bad, the smiling hides strange feeling behind it .
in my feeling, fore man's smiling is different from back woman...there may be something like a gap.
you felt "together" and "good moments" in them, it is no problem, but from another POV, I feel both her innocence and his something cynical in each smiling.
anyway this capturing is very realistic more over than its outward...
thank you,
Akihisa

Hello Marco,
Fanatstic capture of a very human and tender moment. I believe one of the most dificult arts is to make it real and true, and you did it my friend. Great photo (I love the b/w option), graet light and an excellent compo.
Congrats, and my regards, josé mb

fine mood and picture

Hi Marco,

What a warm feeling I get looking at this lovely couple. They exude happiness in their expressions. I like the play of shadows and lighting you have created. She has a lovely smile too! I certainly hope you presented them with a copy! It's terrific... a nice reminder to have sitting on their table.

A cool double portrait, Marco, even if you've sort of amputated your friend's left ear. I'd have cropped this a bit more from the right, just on his whiskers I guess.
Nice sharpness and a cool, shallow DoF. My attention is on her eyes, and her attention is on her partner ;o)).
B&W enhances that feeling. But thanks for providing another shot in the ws.
TFS.

Ciao Marco..va bene?

Excellent portrait of the two.
Exposure, focus and lighting are perfect.

You really have captured the natural expression here, one of the main requirement of a good portrait. The eyes alone tells the whole story. Putting it in B&w is awesome.

Mi piace la freschezza e la spontaneità di un sentimento profondo come l'amore che traspare nel volto di lei e la serena consapevolezza negli occhi socchiusi di lui.
Bellissimo questo ritratto, bravo!

a bit grainy and blurry, I think you should try to play around with the ISO next time.

none the less, I don't want that to discourage you. I think the subject matter, the timing, the overall photograph is perfect. I like it very much and hope to see more from you!
