Like two ships that pass in the night...

Ok, It must be a flavour of the month thing with me at the moment with all this post-processing! I can’t get enough!
This couple appeared totally absorbed in each other until they were rudely disturbed by that passing vessel! :D
Captured during a Red Bubble Night Meet in Melbourne…
Thanks to these wonderful Melbourne based bubblers who came along and made the evening such a success…

    Processing or otherwise, you’ve caught the moment, and the image and title speak volumes in metaphor (or is that simile?). Anyway, this is your usual, brilliant standard, PLV.

  • Rhana Griffin

    (does an little excited jig)

    There is simply so much to love about this Paul! The intimacy between the couple, her hand on his neck, the way her stilettoed heel is kicked up, how he appears to be in the middle of stepping up into her embrace. So much implied movement and interaction between the two of them and yet their moment is completely stopped in its tracks by the actively captured motion of the vessel passing by.

    Then of course their is the fantastic shape of the prow of the boat in the foreground, the slick look of the dock, the many masts in the background….

    .....ok. Shutting up now. (blushes)

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Paul Louis Vil...

    LOL!! You have a wonderful way of expressing verbally what you see and feel! That is a fantastic gift to have Rhana and thank you for sharing that gift with all of us and for maing us feel so good about our works! :D
