Went to a park nearby and took a few shots of the random people there. It was definitely awkward for me at first. These two were hanging out in the grass for a long time. The boy was looking at his magazine the majority of the time.

Great job my first 9 given this contest. Doesn't appear as a set up portrait but moment caught at percise time and title is perfect. Hope her boyfriend husband doesn't see this lol. psart Well done.
nice stolen moment. I wonder what she is thinking. If that were me and my wife she would be thinking "man i wish he would stop reading that video game magazine":) BTW very fitting title.
Very good image, In photographic terms I really hope this was not a set up, because if it isnt then you have captured a wonderful moment in time. Perhaps in life terms I DO hope it was a set up and that two people who apparently are together arent really such a long distance apart
