Photographer’s Note

The Lovers
Crickhowell, Powys, UK

Only now do I realise that there isn't a category "work" - which has rather spoilt the start of my note which was to begin "Work - someone else's!" Never mind.

Taking a break from their duties? Maybe he's being a little pushy. Looks like he's got her cornered - but maybe they're old friends - breaktime flirts - who's to say.

Maybe we're just writing a story to suit ourselves.

Regards

Looks to me like sexual harassment on the job, Colin, which means you're required to report it and fill out 16 pages of forms about what you saw.

Then the broom will say of the sponge, "Maybe I was pushy, but she soaked up everything!" At that point, the already-seething door will become unhinged.

I'd better quit while I'm ahead. Nice graphic design, anyway. Regards, Ken.

Now this is a wonderful shot that really put a smile on my face! It takes a special kind of talent to be able to spot things like this in your everyday life, and realize that it would make an interesting shot. The comes the framing and composition, and then of course the title, which in this case adds a lot to the finished picture. Excellent work!

Very imaginative, bring to mind the of the feather duster and the candle holder's love affair in the Beauty and the Beast. Anyway, the quality of this shot is really great with good sharpness and clarity, but it's the imagination and made this shot more personalized. Well thought and presented. Now I wonder what my bloom and duster is doing in the closet while no one is watching. Thanks colin.

Hi Colin,

Good imagination and excellent humorous photo.
The title is perfect for this "intimate" and flirting scene from our mundane life ... glad to see there's so much love around you ;)

Maryori :)

Hi Colin!
I like the original idea; true, not many people would have thought of such a photo, and yet the objects are essential to our comfort in our everyday life! Nice, realistic composition! and a good humorous note!
Cheers!
MarieLouise.
PS. I laughed at your timetable in the dicussions at the end of August, which, I think, promptly caused the removal of our every minute actions being written on our intro page!

I like this kind of pictures. Just simple objects which become interesting subjects. Here the black frame also gives its contribution.
