Thank you, shu, Ron and DT! Actually, shu, I have a version of this with the crop you suggest and couldn't really decide which to post. Here is the other version - what do you think? ~Sharon

The expression is perfectly portrayed in the shot, with little twist to add some humour. Tops.

How much fun!! I was going to comment that perhaps the legs and arms of the sitters be cloned, but after thinking about it, I think their presence adds to the feeling that others are also enjoying the festivities. I'm sure you agree since this is obviously a well thought-out challenge entry and your little story makes it all the more appealing! shu

Thanks, Tom, Lydia and Nico! Tom, it was a tango that they were dancing and they were really good, very romantic, even with the baby! I thought it was interesting that even though she was wearing sandals and is taller than him that she is still dancing on her toes as if wearing heels. This was fun, a street dance although not on the street but along side the Seine. The musician was a young woman with an accordion and a synthesizer who played for hours without repeating a dance and a whole passel of people dancing their hearts out, like this couple. Magic! ~Sharon

Excellent. Her posture actually looks like it could be a tango. -tv
