I love it!!! and the title too.
Awesome.
It pulses red -- for love.
Ha! I hadn't even thought about the Valentine's Day connection! (I'm such a dunce sometimes.)
And they actually were wearing bright red outfits, but I liked the picture so much better when I desaturated it that I started doing that to all my shots for a while. Yes, this is the picture that got me started on my digital b&w jag.
I feel, for me, that it has a lot of impact that it might not have were it in color. maybe colorizing just their heart/wings would be cool but I like it just the way it is.
I have a slightly different version in a frame on my living room wall. It's cropped up to the cigarette on the right, so the guy's feet behind the one woman are gone. If I were to manipulate it today, I would crop it much closer on the right hand side and eliminate that bit of fire hydrant completely.
A very rough estimate is that I've taken about 15,000 pictures since I took this one. I guess I've learned a few things in the past few years.
I sent a link to this image to Bob (AKA Molto Beloved Old Man) as well as a few chums as an early Valentine's Day greeting. You've got a whole passel of new fans.
and only 15,000 since this one? Damn, get busy man!
