Kissing Gate

View On Black
South entrance of Castle Acre churchyard (from the allotments/Chimney Street).
"The name may be associated with a traditional game played when more than one person is passing through a kissing gate. In order for one person to pass fully through the gate they have to close it to the next person. At this point, when the two are on either side of the gate, the person in front "refuses" entry to the second person until presented with a kiss. Indeed in some circles it is considered good form for everyone passing through a kissing gate to exchange kisses in this way (provided all parties are sufficiently friendly with each other)."

nickpix2009 says:

Thanks guys - thanks for the A* Emma! Thanks Ken - Using the 400mm at f5.6 gives a wonderful 'tunnel' perspective and very shallow DOF which worked in this photo. Also the light wasn't too good by this time (I was nearly home and it had clouded over) so I upped the 'film speed' as well and was pleased with the way it came out!
