fabulous catch Ray !
Sheila11-Aug-2007 00:15
She looks as if she's very reluctantly allowing her portait shot. Did you sweet talk her?
Great result.

I like it...she has character.
Jeanne Newman10-Aug-2007 19:40
Ah...this is beautiful! Whether, in reality, there was a relationship between the fellow in the background and the beautiful woman in focus, it matters not: you have orchestrated one with this stunning image. Voted
Carole Stevens10-Aug-2007 11:02

Great shot, Ray, v
Guest 09-Aug-2007 20:41
I like this because it tells a story. A different story in everyone's mind as we really don't know what was going on - only you do, and then only maybe I guess. Despite the fact that she is the subject, he adds so much to the picture.
Guest 09-Aug-2007 20:33
Tremendous image Ray!..brill
Carolyn Rasmussen09-Aug-2007 20:19

Extraordinary.
The man is smiling at the girl as if ridiculing her.

This is simply fantastic Ray! The totally different expressions of the smiling - almost laughing - man in the bg and the girl in front. Delicate b+w treatment! For me this is the foto of the day!***
