I'm commenting on this after the debate on whether we should have titles or not. I looked at this image before the title and here's what I saw:
Here we have a young couple oblivious to the rest of the world and the waterfall at this precise moment in time. In love or in lust they are more interested in the beauty of each other than in that of nature. Where might that love/lust lead? The couple walking behind them with their two children are exactly where that love may lead them - to marriage, to children. This married couple were once the couple who couldn't keep their hands off one another. Is the married man remembering that? Is he thinking about the days when he and his wife were all over each other before the kids came? OR is he simply admiring a young woman's figure whilst his wife's not looking?
The monk to me represents a man who has given up the pleasures of a relationship with a woman in favour of dedicating his life to his spiritual beliefs. He will perhaps never feel those emotions and passion for another that the young couple feel. He will not know the joy of raising a family together like the older couple. He also represents to me the institution of religion that is the step that comes between the young couple and the older couple - ie marriage.
The young children may one day be where the young couple are, and the whole cycle - dating, marriage, children begins again for a new couple/generation. Just like the water creatng the backdrop in this image it is cyclical.
This is a great capture and I love your title! It's one of those photos that you study from edge to edge and each place your eyes rest makes you enjoy it more. Very nice.
Nice focus on the couple they are nice and sharp, but i think they are a too small a part and the others seems to dominate. It was hard to see where the focus was.
I like the contrast here - the dad with the child on his shoulders looking at the couple obviously not in that same frame of mind. Meanwhile, the mom is oblivious to it all.
Hey almost looks like Niagara Falls or is it? Nice over all photo however I find it a little soft and/or out of focus, a little Unsharpened Mask in Photoshop would have done the trick...
Hard for me to tell who has the whole world in his hands... The little boy on the fathers shoulder holding on? Or the man with his hand on his girlfriends, er, well. You know. Nice picture.
Fantastic! I'm sure you are talking about the fellow with PDA.. oh wait, the other bald guy has something too!
I like thebackground, reminds me of Niagara falls...
On a serious note this is one of the better photos in this challenge, depicting multiplicity of ages and habits... 8.
LOL. Saw the pic and thought, "cool". Then I read the title and really got a chuckle. It gave the photograph a lighter tone and made it comical. Lots of distracting people and elements in this shot....the stroller is blocking part of your subject! BUT, I understand this was a true candid shot and so I can't be too harsh. Nice capture.
I like the title - God's beautiful creations enjoyed by tourists from different cultures and... Wait a minute... Now I see what you meant! I LOVE the title.
This photo has some great composition for captioning!
Tibetan Monk Boy captures groping on his camera phone, sends to his buddies back at the Monestary. Kid in stroller is oblivious. Woman pushing stroller pretends not to notice. Dad is amused until he notices that's his niece in the pink tank top. Kid on shoulders asks Dad: "Where do babies come from?"
hehehe. Nice shot.
