Couple in the rain (Remaster 2)

Romantic or tragic?

Two people hugging in the rain at Derby market square. Not sure who this is, but as you can't tell, I presume I won't annoy anyone too much by posting this...

Update: I have my bedroom wall plastered with photos, and I keep getting compliments about this one, so I did it up a little in photoshop and re-submitted it. I thought that the edited version was enough of an improvement to bring the photo forward a little in my photostream.

Revision: Added a border and significant tonal changes. It isn't emo, it's 'noir'.

Second revision: Cropped as suggested, also a little cloning and photoshoppery.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

with all the rain and the hugging and lack of umbrellas it's rather emotional...

It shows how dramatic it could be. with the solitary surroundings. It's very
concentrated on the two of them.

aaww that is beautiful - I'd maybe go for a tighter crop - but other than that you've captured a gorgeous moment.

Arr... I LOVE this! Really romantic! The border makes it feel even more romantic. How about trying slightly blurred out edges?

Nice picture BUT you haven't used the rule of thirds to its full advantage.

However we'll let you off for this one time Mr Foy

Great picture, tells more than one story all depending on how you look at it, its so focused on the couple, the rain brings a line effect leading your eye and kind of bluring surroundings, great job!

Fantastic shot. And you say this wasn't posed? Even cooler!

Mayr says:

Ah, such a great catch. I agree, it's got a modernish 'noir' feel to it, over an emo feel... nice job with the tones.

Its not the camera, its the photographer. and this photographer has a brilliant eye, and made this shot superb. Very nice, very well done. Its the sort of photo i'd buy a print of - brilliant.

Dan is awesome says:

eww. kissing in the rain
anyways great photo, but it would have been cool with a looser crop, and showing the reflection of the couple in the rain. just my 2 cents

Seen in a discussion of Teen Style. (?)

orangeacid says:

Lol @ chinesecommie - this used to be a much larger crop, but after a few months I re-uploaded it tighter because people were commenting that it was too loose :-)

Dan is awesome says:

haha, i guess than its up to you. i also think its a little bit too dark. tres noir.

brill..

I found this when looking for tag "photoshoppery". I hope this word continues to catch on!

worthy of clintons cards or athena, and i don't mean that as an insult..

nicely captured. a moment of pure love..
