Photographer's Note
The boy is trying to impress his girlfriend with some music on Plaza San Juan de Dios in Camagüey. It's late afternoon and the sun is on its way down to sunset. I was standing on the other side of the square photographing children then I discovered this couple. I changed to a telephoto lens and got a nice picture.
Picture updated to correct color tones!

Hej Jan Olof,
I have not seen your photos for such a long time!
I think the moment was captured very well! and we can see these very special surroundings (which, I suppose, can be seen only in Cuba?). Quite a curious photo - colorwise! But, frankly speaking, I am not sure at all about the pink pavement: too much of it - too much of pink empty space which distracts attention from these two young people :(
What do you think?...
Since you used a telephoto lens, why didn't you take a closer shot? Anyway, nice mood :)
Best regards,
Elena

Hej Jan Olof,
I like this photo, it definitely has that little extra to separate it from the usual TE uploads. I agree with Elena that there may be too much of the street, so I made a WS and just cropped that part (and a bit to the right). I hope you like it.
Hälsningar
Gunnar
