    Terrific!clap.gif :ivar clap.gif The composition here really works - and the space between them, with her hand reaching out, and his apparent obliviousness, is really wonderful. I might play with the contrast a bit, but that's a minor issue. Really nice!

    Cynical commentary on couples :D
    I like the image a lot [hopefully this isn't a death knell for it since from a PJ point of view I'm generally wrong...]. I like how the image is opening to the left where the woman is headed and shrinking to the right on the man's side. I would have liked a small bit of light above his head, like he still had a little bit of room in his shrinking envelope.

    I did a quick rework on the contrast and black point of the image. I felt that the arm reaching back wasn't distinct enough from the traffic. Does this version improve?

    I too love the obliviousness of the guy. The only thing that could make it better is if he was staring the opposite direction.

    Either way, good capture, and yeah, the contrast helps.
