Still in Castiglione Olona, a small village 40 km North of Milan, built in the mid of the XV century as an ideal city of Rinascimento.
We were walking down the main hill of the village, where is located the Collegiata, a small castle with a wonderful church, the cloister and the baptister, all painted inside by Masolino da Panicale.
The couple of young lovers ran as crazy down the street, maybe they were searching a small corner without paparazzi!

Hi Paolo,
Lovely image the composition is spectacular. Perspective is very impressive, clarity is superb. Fascinating shot, Well done!
Have a nice day
George

Hi, Paolo.
Very good scene and well framed.
But the colors in the shadows are not natural.
Blues tones are wrong here.
I made a WS : tell me what did you think about.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Una fuga d'amore, cercando il favore del buio per non esser riconosciuti, di manzoniana memoria.
Questa foto è veramente tenera.
Un saluto
Renzo

Bonjour;
Très belle capture, dommage à mon goût que nous ayons un manque de lumière et de netteté... félicitation tout de même...à bientôt

E allora la realtà è che stanno correndo come pazzi!
Mentre io prima di leggere immaginavo una lei esitante cxhe sta per inciampare nei ciottoli ed un lui che la sostiene e la rincuora. La realtà è più dinamica dell'immaginazione!
Dolcissima foto nella penombra
Ciao e grazie!

Ciao Paolo, bello scorcio arricchito dalla tenera immagine dei due bimbi che si tengono per mano, extraromantica, da pubblicità dei baci Perugina, bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi Paolo,
Maybe the light is not the best, but it's the whole scenery what's it about. It's so lovely those two little children, very touching.
This one is much better than the other version, the vertical format works very good.
Regards, Henk

You made the best choice from the alternatives for several reasons. First this one suits your title so much more as we can see the children holding hands. Secondly the WS has too much of the building on the right. Thirdly a bit more space above the arch like here is a better balance. The green and yellow bush is a good feature of both. Well done. In 10 years time their parents might be watching them a bit more strictly. ;)

Hi Paolo,
Great perspective of this architecture.This is a spectacular and beautiful place,Good contrasts, lighting and colours.

Hi Paolo!
A very nice composition with this junior couple walking down this road.Excellent placement of these kids and nice perspective.
Regards,Leo

Hi Paolo,
lovely photo!! You've caught the moment very well!
excellent composition and colors.
Nice work,
Greetings,
Sònia.

Oh my! 3-year-old Romeo and Juliette running away from their families' blood feud (from Verona to C. Olona, apparently)! This is absolutely cute and humorous. Maybe you could crop a little from the top until the edge of the arch. It is a good capture and I love it.
Fusun

No problem!
As we all well know that the deathliest lovers ever, namely Romeo and Juliet, were children as well...
A "too charming to be real" photo from you Paolo. Great chase!
Ciao ciao.

Ciao Paolo,
an interesting backstreet, fine composition with two childrens in BG. Peaceful atmosphere. I like it. Good work.
Gr., Aleksander

ciao PAolo, bella e romantica con i piccolini mano nella mano...
mi piace il tono azzurro di fine giornata..

ciao!
Valeria

Che immagine simpatica, compreso il titolo. Nonostante l'ombra dovuta alla scarsa luce, su cui ci si puo' fare ben poco, hai costruito l'immagine molto bene.

Paolo, questa foto è davvero romantica. Una scena dolcissima, presa con gran tempismo. Complimenti. Ciao, Marco.

dolcissima! ed i toni blu della foto rendono tutto ancora più irreale e fiabesco
mi piace molto anche il taglio della foto: muro (pieno) a destra e vuoto a sinistra... bravo!
ciao
Carla
