Congratulations on your first, and very well deserved, blue.

I'm really enjoying this image. It has a sort of Norman Rockwell feel to it. I could easily see it on the cover of one of the many magazines that grace our home when I was a child.

Absolutely wonderful image. Thanks for sharing the back story. If anything it makes it even better.

Sometimes photograpy isn't about technical perfection. Sometimes it isn't about posing. Sometimes it isn't about any of the things that we here at DPC, demand of an image.

Photography, literally translated, is "Writing with light." In this case, the light has written a love story. Fortunately, you were there to capture the moment for posterity.

Was the lighting perfec? No.
Was the pose perfect? No.
Was the composition perfect? No.
Was the post processing perfect? No.

Was the story perfect? Yes!

Thank you for sharing this incredible moment.

Congrats on the Red!

Definitely well deserved...

Dunno I'd toss the camera, I'm more of a smash the modem guy. Then I could go back to playing in the small pond, where all my neighbors think I'm a good photographer.

Hon Tre island in the distance? (right side of image)

Wow, the memories these images bring back! Names, places, smells, events, things that had not crossed my mind in many years.

Looks like Beach Road, aka Highway 1, who knows what it is called today. The tall buildings in the back seem new, but 40 years is a long time. The foreground looks amazingly familiar.

Thanks for posting.

Nice to see it more peaceful times.

Very nice effect! With the classic clothing and hair style, it is not at all impossible that this could be an image from years ago.

The image works wonderfully well here. Too bad there isn't an overlay challenge in progress, this one would score quite well.

Very nicely done!

The processing really adds to the equation here.

Nice clean image. You may get hit a bit from the folks who take "Automobile Ad" litterally. This picture makes me want to hop on and ride. I gave you an 8.

Nice work. Though the end is cut off just a bit, it still works well because all the bits that were lost appear to be in shadow.

The vehicle comes across nice and sharp. With the rest a nice linear blur. No shaky hands here. Nice job.
