"The kiss" a la Robert Doisneau
by LevT

Comment by kenskid:
I can see many things in the scene that make this a good shot.
Some examples:

Let's start with the tree to the front left of the subject male. The tree is chained to a pole that is holding it up allowing it to stand.
Symbolism - the kissers are chained to each other to help each other stand throughout life.

Next: Notice the two cement "barriers" in the foreground. They converge just slightly ahead of the couple.
Symbolism - The kissers are near an important convergence in their lives...possibly an engagement or marriage.

Next: The girl in front out of the frame. Her had is reaching back as she walks. Take this with the image of the "single" man "stuck" behind the barrier. He is looking at her or in her direction.
Symbolism - He is alone and would like to be at the convergence as the kissers are, however the cement barriers are blocking his way to the girl. The same barrier that is bringing the kissers to an important convergence in the kisser's lives is at the same time blocking another from converging with a would be mate.

Well anyway...that's how I see it.

Great capture, I'm just now noticing the hand at the right edge. The fellow on the right seems to be interacting with the owner of that hand.

thank you Paul! I'm honored :). This is one of my own favorites, and it has been quite popular on 1x, glad that now it has at least one fave here :).
