Description I saw this couple on the street, and the lighting on the umbrella was just too amazing to ignore.


(Taken from a shuttle in the streets of Xi'an during summer 05)

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 @ 1/60, f/7.1, 51mm, ISO64

Haha wouldn't that be something - a DD for a 8 megapixel photo from 13 years ago back when I was a teenager
Thank you, this photo has a lot of nostalgic sentiment!

why not, it shows even without all the fancy gizmos and even at that young age you had
the talent and the eye to see a beautiful image,

I think that takes not only more skill but shows the artist through his lens.
Isn't that what a DD is worth, the showcase of brilliance in any form of artistic medium.

Maybe i'm not the best person to judge, but this image clearly stands out

This is an amazing shot. Β Really beautiful. Β I really love the lighting on the umbrella, but I also really love how they're just a little more to the right and how it's easy to keep looking from all corners of the photo because of how it's composed.

Thank you very much! It's probably the first half-decent photo I ever took to be honest! I think there was a lot of luck that went into the composition, but I've learned from it at least!

What a wonderful shot to be so spontaneous. :]

I love the light designs on the umbrella
as well as the contrast and the couple's positions.

a little cynical that you didnt straighten the image, but you got another just for the sublime shot that i get to stare at.

Yea, I speak some Chinese, though I've totally been losing it since the start of university - nobody to speak Chinese to, and too little time to study it
