obvious yet mysterious. iconic yet haphazard. sentimental yet street. past yet present. god yet man.

Comment by kteach:
Good focus on the face... like the tilted angles too. Lighting seems a bit harsh on the frame and her forehead though to me.

Comment by emorgan49:
A commenter called this a "candid" but it is a carefully composed and executed photo, almost text book. The triangle of lights, the leading lines which lead into a spot of light draw the viewer in to look more closely at the image, a lovely balance of black and white, vignetting on the edges to make the scene more intense, the couple, place in the rule of thirds point of interest are out of focus perhaps suggesting the movement of a couple through space and time as they make a life together, the road symbolizing the pathway of like leads to a bright spot of hope. The repeating streetlights reminding if mini suns saying that day will follow day will follow day, adding a fourth dimension of time to the photo. Theres a LOT more in this photo than a "candid". Look again voters.

PS - I don't enter many challenges, that doesnt make me a troll voter, I don't take great photos but I DO like to look at great photos.
