From Russia with love I fly to you
Much wiser since my goodbye to you
I've traveled the world to learn
I must return from Russia with love
I've seen places,
faces and smiled for a moment
But oh, you haunted me so
Still my tongue tied young pride
Would not let my love for you show
In case you'd say no
To Russia I flew, but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again.
My running around is through
I fly to you from Russia with love.

Would not let my love for you show
In case you'd say no.

To Russia I flew, but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again
My running around is through,
I fly to you from Russia with love

Hi Xen!
Amazing church. Wonderful architecture. Very nice scene. Good POV. Very good B&W. Original job.
Cheers!

Hi Debbie,
Excellent B&W showing the famous Moscow landmark, it really has enough contrast to work without colours too. I like placing of the couple and leaves. And title is excellent.

Excellent choice Debbie, to put the couple and the small branch from the tree to the foreground, somethings that first gives good depth to the composition and second gives a special, let's say romantic touch, to the photo.
Very good the B/W tone gradation and the placement of the volumes in the frame.
Best regards
Kostas.

A nice work Debbie! I like very much the stiches you wrote for us. Love is everywhere! I also like the framing and the sharpness of your shot.
I send to you the best wishes.
Athanasios.

Hi Debbie.

This is a very well captured picture. You have taken this at a really good time as the couple are in a really good position here. Also the tree in the foreground adds alot to the composition.

Very well captured!

Hi Debbie,
A compositional idea that works well in cities is to have a gorgeous background and then wait for the right person(s) to walk into the scene. Your picture is a fine demo of that. A slightly wider angle would no doubt help include the lovers in full. Regards,
Hakan
