Very busy and tired lately, so I don't really have time to take photos, but I couldn't resist taking this one today. This elderly couple was walking, hand in hand, and they behaved like they were 16! I found that so lovely. They have probably just met lol.
The sun was aside to the left, so I wanted to catch the shadows too.
I usually don't apply too much filters, but this time I did, as I wanted to isolate them from the background, plus to enhance the shadows.

Crop on the left and upper part and applying Monday morning sepia filter which also added grain.
Decided to upload it on Friday, the day dedicated to the goddess of love, Freya ;D

Hope you'll have a nice weekend.

Great shadows. Good emotion. Nice PP work.

I like the scene... always emotion in such one...
I must admit that I am not sure about the PP... anyway a beautiful photo ; )

Partial desaturation and filters? Mare, is this really you? :))
Very good shot, I like the composition with shadows very much, just like you asked me to make this shot. Even those cars contributes to this composition, making this couple look more in love.
Very good shot, although with some unnecessary filters, but discard my nit-picking! :)
Uživaj u vikendu, čitamo se!

Hi Marija,
This photo is great and full of emotion. Very well seen.
Peace,
Mohammad

well, not an easy one to take, Marija.

beautiful image, I love the shadows.
Not sure about the PP either....also a simple BW would have been just as fine, but it is good also this way.

Sabina

Hi Marija,
Such a sweet shot! I think it matches well with Friday ;))
Nice B&W and very good treatment of the image. It has anostalcgic mood and it's full of emotions!

very ncie one dear!

have a great weekend!!!
Stef :))

Wonderful capture Marija to see that love is over every age ;-) I hope you'll have soon more time...have a wonderful weekend you and Natalia.

Jos

A great street shot, Marija, and an instant favorite for me.

Marleen

NEVER MIND THE QUALITY - FEEL THE WIDTH.
Great example, where the image should, and does, generate a 'feeling'.
There will be a whole bunch of visitors who will mention technique and composition and so on. All true but the most important element of this is 'the moment' and the associated feeling. Much appreciated, M74, you are now promoted to M75.

Again, great minds think alike. My first thought was, "well, they've probably just met!" Cynical, aren't we?!

Very sweet photo, Marija, and I like your PP! Especially the faint yellow of the taxi, and your shadows are very nice, so well done!

hugs,
Gayle :)

Hi Marija,

This is so sweet!!
It's not very usual to see old people showing their love like this. It's kind of romantic, don't you think? :)
Lovely lighting and great idea to use this effect. It works nice here!
Well done and TFS :)
Constantinos

What a touching picture, Marija, and you have a sensitive soul to have seen it. I would prefer to think that they have known each other forever and that they are still in love. The shadows are very well captured as well. I am not too keen on your PP work but it does not take away from the good composition & the emotions. Well done!

'love this!
I like to over exposed feel to it. The shadows, the compo, the subject works perfectly. It defiantly shows your dominant romantic side.

Bye for now Marija.
