      This is the best of this series, I think. Nothing post-modernist about it.

      Great image!

    27. little-wings (54 months ago | reply)

      I love the title and the positing of the two small silhouettes against the vast expanse of wall. The ground lighting makes it feel almost like a drama played out on stage :-)

    28. DreAnd (54 months ago | reply)

      very very beautiful shot...
      great...

      congrats

    39. p r i m e r (54 months ago | reply)

      This is fantastic. The scale, perspective, and lighting are dead on... sure, it could be slightly straighter, but whatever. Doesn't detract from the shot at all... can't believe people want to delete this. I don't think they are looking at the right photo.

      if this had not been saved i can see you all feeling like idiots since it ended up on the front page of Explore. or not, you probably think you're better than explore. =)
      late-save!

      That captures my idea of romanticism to the tee. I would appreciate it if you could please send it to me. I would get it blown up, and on my bedroom wall. I would even, in tasteful, black lettering, put your caption in the upper right hand corner of the wall. They would only slightly bigger than the couple, to preserve the vastness of the wall. The wall, symbolizing the enormity of the whole thing. I think it would be awesome!

    47. mypixrgolden (54 months ago | reply)

      That says it all! I LOVE it. Send it to me please!
