oh! i just love this light!! wonderful composition, beautifully balanced, especially with the one person in the center. The people in the righthand arch add so much to the piece by breaking up the balance, just enough. really wonderful! Of course I understand the emotion in the title….

wonderful moody composition. looks like bethesda fountain. this has such a great kind of nostalgic vintage quality. I think it’s the high contrast or something. just beautiful work
Farras Abdelnour replied
thank you so much, john! yes, the photo’s contrast has been pushed, and shades limited. just seemed to suit my mood then.
