I was sitting in front of the Eiffel tower when I saw these two kissing. After the shot I asked them if it was all right if I would use the picture for this challenge. They didn't mind.

This is subtle and beautiful. It's probably one of the most cliched photographs imaginable, but I like the way you executed it, with the subjects in silhouette against the softly focussed tower.
love !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! al finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn godddddddd yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh a pic who mean something else congrats I love it, u got 10
Nice idea, but I think your silhouettes get lost in the rest of the darkness. Otherwise, I love the shot. (I bet a lot of people think this is posed...)
You either staged this, or you are one lucky son of a gun. I wll assume the later. Beautiful shot. Would make an excellent postcard, I think. Great job. karmat
What a beautiful shot! Some may say that it would have been better to have a smaller arpeture and have the tower in focus...but I like this shot just the way it is. Good job!
This just seems too perfect to fit under the candid category even if it wasn't staged. The DOF is great. Expsoure is good. Focus is good. The couple is centered and shot straight on. Mind telling me exactly how you managed to catch such a great shot? ~indigo997
this is interesting, something about the blurring of the tower bothers me, and the way it takes my attention away from the subject, the first time i looked at it, i didnt see the couple....6
Taking pictures like this is illegal isn't it?!! Maybe the shot would have better if the tower was in focus, I don't think there's enough detail in the silhouettes for the lack of focus to have mattered.
This would have been great had the couple been a little more distinguished from the background. It takes a bit of effort to recognize that this is more than a blurry photo of the Eiffel Tower. Since their position isn't against something that gives enough contrast to make them out very well, it may have been cool to try a shot with a flash and a slower exposure to bring out a similar effect with the tower in the background while offering details of the couple.
Everybody's gonna complain that it's too dark, as they usually do. But it's very well done. If you'd gotten a lower angle of the couple, I would've given you a 10.
