We were trying to convey in this picture the sadness of a long distance relationship. She is about to leave on the train and they both feel as if their hearts are going to break. On this picture I did a hue / saturation and took out every color except red and took the red down to about 30%.

I like this photo . It looks to me lie some photo that could hav been taken 40 or 50 years ago. For some reason it looks 'french' or 'italian' to me. I think however the 'presence' of the couple has to 'fight' too much with the vertical pole with the sign, with the vercical tree, with the vertical trash. Maybe a little too much there or you would have need a shallower depth of field. And the bright white sign draw the attention. Good luck. 7 . Lionel
I like the way you've colored this. Very emotional photograph. You should have been in a uniform. Nice lighting, good focus, I like the shadows that are created.
Good idea. There is so much stuff going on, it is hard to concentrate on the couple. An upper torso shot showing the hands up through the faces may have been a better shot.
The dark tone works well I think. The emotion here is effective. I wish that sign at the top weren't there because it breaks the grey tones throughout the shot. Good solid shot. 7
Nicely done but I think the background items are distracting. Either get them more out of focus or reposition so you don't have those items. A garbage can and a sign don't help convey the feelings one has upon parting. Good idea and I like the way the colors have been handled to make it a partially colored b&w picture.
How did you get the red colors in what appears to be black and white? I can see some color in the tree and a hint in their faces. Very interesting photo that keeps you looking around at the details.
