ha! oh this is just brilliant. :) the black and white really brings out the terrific simplicity here.
(happy new year to you!)

love it.
hard to imagine that the two observers haven't, even briefly, imagined kissing each other.
and hard to imagine any observer of your photo not thinking as i have.
romance, romance everywhere. `:0

Nicely framed. A wonderful counterbalance to the image on the wall. Distance and intimacy.

Love the contrasts in intimacy.

This is simply great!
Jacqueline Walters (66 months ago | reply)
I am immediately pulled into this image by the wonderful triangle of the two viewers and the original photo....like others, I find myself wondering what they are thinking as they gaze at the image of the kiss...their body language is a great counterpoint to the image,....
Ah... romance...romance.....

Amazing picture! Outstanding! Reminds somehow on Elliott Erwitt,
one of my all time favourite photographers. Needless to say: Instant fave!

A dozen different stories spring from this, it's great.
Elisa Bett (66 months ago | reply)
welch eine geschichte!! man spürt die neidvollen blicke förmlich ... und die hilflosigkeit, diese nähe selbst zu erreichen. :-)
rosefirerising (66 months ago | reply)
Brilliant and perceptive. A great capture! The body language of the two viewers shows a real resistance to the object being viewed, and we (as the outside observers) can sense layers of contradictory emotional movement in the viewers. Very cool!

a great capture
forgetfulmare [deleted] (65 months ago | reply)
Something hard and tense about that 'kiss', or maybe it's the harshness of the B&W, (even in color, that 'kiss' would feel forced) and maybe the uneasy body language of the viewers is the result of all that ambivilence.

oh... great!

Geweldig... wat een mooi verhaal.
Ben erg blij dat ik je gevonden heb... bewonder je werk zeer!
Dank je voor de inspiratie!

I already started inventing stories in my head for those two people, a couple, looking at the picture, going home afterwards and then the guy moves out of the apartment to a shabby hotel a week later.
Michelle Conley (65 months ago | reply)
This is one of the best photos I have ever seen on flickr (or anywhere else for that matter).
