Your most expressive images, Vicky, are those that deal with one thing a time. This is a good example of one. Everything in the image works to express a single idea -- the transient nature of love. There is nothing here that is is irrelevant. Everything in the image belongs in the image. Your soft focus and blur, intentional or not, have made this loving couple seem there, yet not there at the same time. The pier offers a leading line that takes us right to them. The posts on the left echo the woman, the post on the right echo the man. I call this, in my gallery on composition, "rhtythmic repetition." The distant shore symbolizes eternal love -- but it is hazy and indistinct. All visions of eternity are hazy, right? This image works on many levels at once: it is haunting because you have abstracted the people into ghostly figures. It is romantic becuase they seem to be holding hands. It is thought provoking, because they seem so impermanent, so fragile. It is a beautiful work of expressive photographic art, Vicky. I am very proud of you.

Beautiful! Hold hands and jump. Love, not romance.
