I am no professionsl but I like the sun-drenched look. And though I'm no world traveler, either, the content and rendition bring to my mind Tuscan locales.

The poses and positioning of the human subjects seem symbolic of two people whose relationship has grown distant yet not entirely apart - all this in an obviously old but clean alleyway. Meaning what? An old relationship, distant but honest and without deceit and bathed in the sunlight and warmth of the past?

The best photos show not only an interesting scene but conjure feelings and glimpses into our own minds. This one works for me.

Actually, I kind of like this rendering, it is very artistic, even though from a strict photographic standpoint, the yellow tone appears too strong. This portrays the sunlight in an interesting way, and tends to favor the shadows, letting the highlights fall where they may, perhaps as we might actually see them with our eyes.
