This must be a popular spot, judging by the graffitti. It's hard to understand why, though... The wall is cracked, broken and falling down, it seems! But, it does make for a most interesting photo! I wonder why they chose that location? It was available, I guess! Ah, love! :)

Looks like the horizon isn't straight, and I would have liked it cropped a little tighter to emphasize the couple a little more, but it's a very cool image! I'm glad you sneaked a shot for us!

TFS,
Gayle

Hey Francis,

this shot is so powerful and somewhat disturbing. I agree with Ayda on that it seems that they are holding on to each other for dear life. Or perhaps the man has had some really bad news and his lover is comforting him. This is a SPECIAL image indeed.

On the image itself I feel that the canvas needs to be rotated 2-degrees counter-clockwise. Also the image subject really is the emotional outburst from the man and the nuturing of his lover. The shot needs to be focussed on that. This means that to my mind you need a much tighter crop. Obviously as the image on TL is fairly low-resolution I would struggle to do a Workshop on this, but I have don so anyway to show you what I mean.

see workshop...

Take Care

Ah les petits adolescents ! Pour s'être ainsi caché loin des regards, il faut qu'ils aient des intentions que leur jeune âge interdit. A moins que leurs attitudes apparemment tourmentées ne soient dues au fait que Steeve, le jeune homme, ait calé trois fois d’affilée avec la Mercedes de son papa, ci-dessus à droite, et que, honteux, il se soit enfuit du véhicule en courant, aussitôt rejoints sur la plage par sa compagne venue consoler son gros chagrin à son pépère.

An universal scene cause we can see it on any beach im shure. Only details change :)
But your details are colored! i like the draws we see... It can give them idea to have kids later :)
It's original for the angle of the parking/batiment

... the world is tilted anyway (that's why we have seasons here, on earth). and the spring brings not only love, but summer, too. and not only joyful feelings, it seems...
thanks

Nice work. Clear, sharp - great photo for a 'hip' shot, although I would have corrected the tilt - or gone with the crop suggested, the distant sea and the car above them don't really add to the shot.
The subject is excellent, a good choice to capture this moment - I wouldn't have the courage!
