This one was taken outside Maremagnum – a shopping centre in Barcelona – and beyond that I don't think there's a great deal I can say about this, other than to tell you it was one of about 15 shots. In the other shots the couple are either looking towards one another, or out over the water, but (for reasons that I can't really articulate) this was my favourite of the set.

nice portrait. I very much like the processing. Very simple and elegant.

Love the light, they seems to be in a mediterranean island! Well done, fo course.

A very Spanish looking couple indeed. I just read the news about Fleetwood Pier burning down, what a tragedy :-(

I too feel like this has a mediterranian feel to it, think possibly the bright colours against the pale water, awesome composition David, great work!

The way the vibrant colors of the couple's clothing (and her hair) stand out from the pale background is so nice. Great shot David!

Great use of over exposure, i would have never have thought of that.

I actually looked quite a few times at this shot. At first look I really didn't make much of it... But I think it's one of those shots that when you look closer has all sorts of elements and details that come together quite nice. It has such a nice, relaxed feel to it... Summer in Europe! I miss it!

Wow, freaky colors and a nice sharpness and DOF.
