This really is among your best work....it is so good that I am a little happy to hear that you actually had to work for it to make it happen....it was definately worth the effort.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Hi, thanks for the kind comments. Once I mounted my camera on the tripod it started to rain, all the people, except this couple, disappeared, and I suddenly saw that this could be a nice picture. I did have no umbrella, but instead of un-mounting the camera to hide from the rain I continued to shoot, trying to protect camera & lenses just with my hands. I had to do dozens of shot before I finally managed to get this one where the guys were "acceptable" still. Lucky me. Happy to say that despite my worst expectations, the both - camera and lenses, have survived.

I have always loved this picture, the depth, detail, colors and composition...everything is just perfect..how, however, did you get the couple to sit so...perfectly...still for 10 whole seconds?

Remarkable.

Very Best Wishes, Traveller
