The way young lovers do

The way young lovers do by Jon Block.
"Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
And the way that we wanted to be
And we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
And you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, I love you, I love you
The way that young lovers do"
Van Morrison

Another rework of an old photo, but I think that I'm really improving my post-processing on these shots.

Oh yes, and although the above lyrics are Van Morrison's original (and that is an amazing song!), I just had a listen to the Jeff Buckley version that he recorded live at the Siné and that is truly an inspirational solo performance -you must listen to it!

An incredible image, Jon.. stunning. The tones, the exposure, the two sweethearts. Fantastic composition and treatment. Beautifully done.

This is magical Jon, the toning is superb, i got a very similar shot a couple of weeks ago but without the young lovers admiring the view. There's a lovely glow to the city here as well Jon, superb, an instant fave.

Hey Jon, This is really great. I really like the light shining through the dark legs of the dock at the bottom of the photo. Nice vignette above the city, honestly your post processing has gotten amazing. Your subtleness brings out a great character in shots. I went to your site, looks awesome.

This is fantastic! Great luck that you got the pillars sillouhetted with no light falling on them. Really nice tonal contrast between the different areas of the image.
