Hi El
This is a brilliant shot from you.. excellent combination of a low angle shot and marvellous b/w work. This looks such a dangerous positon to be in for this couple ..how high are they?...Take care and Regards

El... "Comforting" comes to mind; perhaps an event that is so traumatic that the beloved cellphone is forgotten. As always, an image from you that evokes many different responses and interpretations... just excellent... Mike

To Keith:..........no, these are the odd steps and they are close to the Po river waterline, no danger at all I guess. Regards, El

An excellent shot except for the cell phone, which pegs the image instead of making it more timeless. Great work lady!

Dicen que el amor es ciego... Pero, en realidad, es que supera muchos peligros. Un tanto equilibristas ellos. La foto es estupenda.

it's interesting that even in times of "love" the damn cell phone is in arm's reach....great stuff, as usual! sorry el, p/n would only take 6/6, but what does that mean in the face of great skill.

Thank you Vicente!
Thank you for your kind words. I heard about the terrible tragedy - as you - through the media this morning. Although I am outside the country for a while my heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones.
However, Italy is close to two major geological fault lines, making it one of the most earthquake-prone countries in Europe - as we know, unfortunately. Thanks again for your message and best regards, El

Reminds me of my trips to Italy seeing lovely moments like this. So unmindful of the environment and all the world to themselves. Great composition and excellent b&w tones. Is that a cell phone?
Regards, El. - Lester
Giuseppe Pasquali 
, April 10, 2009; 03:12 P.M.
I like very much
the b/w, although - imho - the tilt doesn't add much to the composition, thanks for sharing, buona Pasqua, Giuseppe
B.C Okmen 
, April 11, 2009; 02:47 A.M.
Dear El , I would like to offer my condolences on the tragic natural disaster that has struck Italy.My heart goes out to all the people who have lost their lives and to their family.As a country who knows and lived such a tragedy I can relate to what your nation is going thru.We are all powerless when it comes to the force of nature.Best Regards.

Thank you to all of you!
Thank you very much for stopping by and for your supporting comments.I greatly appreciate. Thank you very much indeed.
To Giuseppe:............I don't understand your 'angle' remark. The couple is down on the stairs and close to the waterline. With all respect, I was not willing to jump into the river to shot from an different angle....:)
To B.C.:....................Thank you for your kind lines. As I said above, it's a very tragic incident - but these things happen all over the world when you live close to geological fault lines - it's only a question of time. However, it remains a terrible tragedy. Thanks again for your message.
