Make love not war Photo

Photographer’s Note

Love on the canonpipe on the Venezian fortress above the lively city and port of Pula, the biggest ciry of Istria.
A fine variation of the John Lennon team - I just couldn't resist taking this sneaky picture of a tender moment.

Hello Gerrit,
great shot with a perfect title.
Excellent capture of a couple of lovers on a cannon, a magnificent symbolic image!
I like a lot the warm light and the blurry BG. Congratulations and TFS.
Friendly regards.

Good thinking and a quick reaction. The title is excellent. Shooting into the sun has its difficulties, but one of the benefits is the rim lighing round their hair.

Hi Gerrit

Let's hope that your wish becomes true, but realistically there are too many fanatics. It's a soft shot full of atmosphere with the added bonus of a canon, to make us understand, that love is better then war. Nice pastel colors, perfect DOF and adequate sharpness. well done - thanks for trying to give us all some hope

Best regards
Urs

Hallo Gerrit,

Een mooie boodschap voor de Balkan. Je hebt je tijd goed besteed in Kroatië.
De overbelichting en de zachte enigszins fletse kleuren zijn bepalend voor de prachtige sfeer in deze foto.

Groet Rob
