Default Golden Love And Care



I walked pass this elderly couple and 5 mins later i realised that i dont really see this often. Managed to find them after awhile and i took this shot. Who says love isn't forever.

How do your guys think of the picture? Composition and Tone alright?

was there a reason why you cropped it to the dimension it is? since there is enough space in the picture perhaps you could have just cropped it in a shape of a square.

Cause notice on the right side of the pic there's people and they are middle aged or young (baby) so it helps me emphasize the age of this couple. Also i felt that the empty space on the right could at least help me show that they were walking (moving) together.

thanks for the feedback!

A good capture, though slightly soft. Pity you didn't capture the facial expressions.

I just feel the other people on the right of frame are a distraction as they are not sufficiently out of focus. I can still clearly make out the facial features of the backpack-toting young man for instance.

But, on the whole, good work.

Quiet rare to get this coming from you.
Personally, for me, has it been shot in a cloudy day, or PP?
Darkened tones dont go well with the theme, iMHO.

It was extremely cloudy. Taken this morning in Chinatown, just nice Before and After heavy rain. After i left the place rain again.

But anyway, i didnt try to brighten up just a little in pp cause trying to show old age by leaving it at a darkened tone.

Thanks calebk and cheguthamrin

Give praise when it is due.
Don't sugarcoat when it is not.
