I like this! I like that it is slightly off center and that stark contrast between the foreground and the background. Great image.

That vertical line of chain and reflected chain consolidates the composition. The soft but dynamic reflected lines of the temple rely on it. Framed by the bit of shore(?), rim(?) at top right... and the sky exudes peace, which is fitting. Big score :-)

Yep

The floor with reflections compliments the silhouette. I think this would be slightly better if the bench had been centered left to right a little more.

Oh how awesome! I love the mood and feel of this photo. It reminds me a little of the concept I had last week. It appeals to me very much!

Great composition. I like all the lines. That darn plant is a bit distracting but other than that a wonderful b/w.

Beautiful image! What others said, i like the antithesis between the couples and the lonely person.

Love the silhouettes. This is quite a simple shot but tells a story. It looks very peaceful.

Even though this is quite a simple shot, it has a lot going for it. The silhouettes contrast so well against the outside scene and the floor. I like how you have two couple interacting and then the solo person. Are they all together? Strangers? This photo makes me think about the subject, and you did it well.

I'm not sure if anything could be done about it, but the bench is a bit off-centered. But then if you center it, the column goes through the middle couple. Tough call either way.
