    Wish I could see his face, Ben. I just don't know what kind of private moment, or public place, is involved here.

    Point made B.D.
    I did feel there was enough context in the image to support the Title and visa vera.
    Although again I agree seeing his face would of been much better but not sure seeing
    would add any more detail to the Title.

    This one is not speaking to me, Benjamin.

    Your title tells me that it is meaningful and I respect that.

    But I don't feel it when I look at the photo.

    On the technical side, the fact that the brightest light is on the lady on the left with the white hair means that the eye is drawn to her and away from the man in the white shirt, who, if I understand your title correctly, is the photographer's subject.

    I would darken the woman and brighten the man, the candles and the wall above the candles.
