A great shot, really! I'd crop it just a little bit though,but that's just me. I have a thing for tight portraits... 🙂
As for the subject of this thread, Strangers/Stolen moments/Intimacy, that's something I can't do... I'm probably too self-concious about it. You could ask "what's the point of using RF then (stealth, hip shots, shutter noise.). I know, I know.... I'm determined to work on it but I'm short and skinny so I must be careful about confrontation... 😉 Good runner though 😀
I'm naturally drawn to photographic genres that are "far from me" and believe me there are a LOT of them 🙂. As a consequence, I have respect and sometimes admiration for those who can photograph strangers in intimate moments respectfully, elegantly and poetically. Keep this thread going, I may contribute someday... 😉
When I was thinking of a title for this thread before posting it, I thought of the Oliver Nelson LP, "The Blues and the Abstract Truth", from which the most well-known cut is "Stolen Moments." A great record.
Anyway, having caught the couple kissing in the first post on the thread, I kind of figured lots of other RFF'rs probably have similar images of romantic interludes which they have captured semi-surreptitiously. I have been surprised at how many people have posted to thread and how many different interpretations of the title folks have conjured. All of them valid, by the way.
If I were going the rename the thread, I'd probably have called it: "Stolen Moments: catching strangers in romantic moments." However, I think the title I went with was neat in that it has elicited a broader range of subjects than I expected. Lots of beautiful work here. Please keep posting.
