I love how the huddling birds on the left seem to be looking directly at the cuddling couple on the bench - watching the play unfold.

Even their neck is looking like this of the birds. Being there and waiting for the right moment.

Hilarious, touching and a devine photograph Kal. This could have been an entirely different photograph (ie contrived athena style - remember that highstreet chain?) if the couple werent so damn brilliant. Everything (clothes, posture as Phil noted) is echoed perfectly right down to he bench theyre sitting on. It's so perfect, do you think they performed this life imitating art moment?

A masterful piece of humorous incongruity. The body language of the people is echoed by the birds. I would have loved to see it in color to see if the hues of the clothing were picked up in the painting. I think images featuring paintings often will thrive on color in general. In this case, the birds might take on an added resonance in their original plumage. I also wonder if the color rendition might do better job of defining the legs of the birds in the painting, which are almost lost in black and white. The long legs would, no doubt, echo the thrusts of the arms of the two people on the bench.
