Absolutely wonderful capture! I love how the tree frames the image. The tones are excellent for the image. The only thing I notices was the true white highlight is the man's collar when I think it should be the faces of the people. Could also slightly lighten the woman’s arm to make the embrace more noticeable. Both changes might enhance the communication of the obvious passion between the two people. Also, it suggests to me a title "Mid-Day Paris Rendezvous” as they look like to business professionals (possibly married but not to each other!) meeting for a lunchtime tryst. I like how there lips are partially hidden - seems to communicate their desire to hide their relationship. Very well done.

Great contrast and tones. The tree frames the focal point very nicely. Only B&W

This is an amazing capture. I like how the trunk and branches serve as a frame for a couple that appears to be truly in love.
The black/white is perfect for this shot.

Seeing this photograph brings so many memories to my mind as to why I love Paris. I love its cafes with their animated air of conversation no what time of day, I love watching the women whose instinct for color and line showed in the last detail of the way they dress, I love the tall windows that one can throw open to the scent of flowers blooming to the view of courtyards to the narrow streets of the left bank and the grand boulevards of the right. I love seeing people strolling along the Seine holding hands. I love feeling that where I walked so many people had been before.
