Bonsoir, cher Danos,
Le banc des soupirs, le banc où l'on se dit je t'aime, le banc des souvenirs, le banc des moments heureux, c'est un peu de tout cela qui est exprimé à travers cette très bonne prise de vue.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Καλημέρα Δάνο.
Πολυ καλή φωτογραφία απο μια ομορφη στιγμή δυο ανθρωπων σε ένα ωραίο τοπίο.
Πολύ καλό το καντράρισμα σου, ιδιαίτερα το φυσικό κάντρο του ζευγαριού απο τα δύο δέντρα.
Πολύ καλη χρωματική διαβάθμιση.
Θα μου άρεσε λίγο πιο "σφικτό" το κάντρο σου με λιγότερο πράσινο μπροστά.
Έκανα μερικές αλλαγές. Δεν ξέρω αν σου αρέσουν.
Φιλικά
Κώστας

Hi Danos,
A beautiful and romantic place which look almost like a painting...The trees look great with its falling branches and the mountains in the far give a sense of depth to your image. Lovely colors and nice light/shade contrasts.
Cheers

Hi Danos,
It's a beautiful postcard, with a much tranquil and pleasant atmosphere. The trees and the lane make a very pretty frame to the couple and the lake. It's a bit pity that you catch a so hazy day, but that didn't spoil this photo.
Regards, José.

Καλησπέρα Ντάνο.Είσαι πολυταξιδεμένος φίλε μου
Αυτό είναι μέγα πλεονέκτιμα και εφόδιο μαζί
στον φωτογράφο...Εδώ μας έφερες μια λιτή φωτό.
Όμορφα στημένη,με το χαρακτηριστικό "κάδρο στο
κάδρο", το UV ενίσχυσε τα χρώματα,και το ζευγάρι σαν μια ανθρώπινη εκφραστική παρουσία.Όλα καλά Ντάνο,μπράβο.!!!
