man and woman - 男と女

Wow wow wow. Despite a magenta colour cast which doesn't quite agree with me, i simply love the "continental" feeling of it. A glass of Bacardi rum i happen to be drinking right now and i toast for this shot of yours. かんぱい! :)

Since I was born in Eastern Europe this does bring back a lot of memories. Love the composition. The shadow of the man is just perfect. I would probably have reduced the magenta color cast a tiny bit (it adds to the atmosphere to the pic so I would not want to remove it completely).

Am I seeing colour? just kidding - this is a great image Tetsu, almost romantic! cheers :)

Thanks PlasticTV, Ella and David!
This shot is the one of my archives. I traveled Eastern Europe about 5 years ago. Knowing that magenda color is too strong, I choiced to post in the true colors.

My great grandparents were born in Romania, so I was immediately drawn to this photo. A land I wish to visit some day.

Thanks Micki!
People in Romania were very kind to me. And of course, Romania is a birth place of Dracula, isn't it?. :-)

another great moment.. wonderful side lighting brings out the mood and the conversation the 2 old folks are engaged in pulled me in.. but i have somethin abt the color cast like wat plastictv have pointed out too.. ha, juz my preferance.. ;p

A lovely street picture!

Thanks Jxiong and Sidney!
Yes. The color of magenda is too strong....

Such a peaceful and calm scenerey, i like it.

Thanks Philipp!

Fine composition. I dont know if the magenta dominant is an accident or not, but I like it.

Colours are very nice in this photo.

Thanks Roberman and Ali!
I feel relief at your comment. :-)

I love these framework shots onto which i can hang my own story. There are so many possibilities in this one, it is delightful. Even the odd colour doesnt detract for me but makes it look as if it is from an old family album from 1959.

Thanks Keith!
The color of this photo reminds nostalgic feelings indeed....

color picture after a while! tetsu, Is there a reason you chose to do this in color..

Thanks Samcam!
There are no reasons. After scaning the film, the photo has this color.

i like the simple scene here, the colour and the long shadow. very nice.

Thanks David!

I like this picture : that makes me think of old movies :)

Vintage time. If you didn't say it was photographed this century, I would have not known.

Oh my. It looks the old Lisbon. eheh

Great candid shot. Love the purple cast on it, adds alot of mood.

Very nice! I actually like the color cast, it gives it an old c41 look.

I love this shot for the simple reason that after watching an American show--Get Smart--for several years when I was younger, the guy in the picture has the exact same profile and dress as one of "secret" agents on the show. Wait, there is another reason, of course, that I like the photo and, as noted before, an intimate meeting or discussion.

Thanks Amande, Wilson, Siri, Gavin, Jbuhler and Johnh!!!
I found following things when I compiled your opinions.
The man with the hat was an agent of KGB and stayed in Lisbon to achieve his task. Unfortunately, he was photographed by me in 50's. :-P

i love this! the magenta is perfect, in my opinion. a true technicolor experience.

yes lovely...
looks like from movie...
u know..those old 80s, 70s movie

cool

お邪魔しております。
あー美しい！なんて美しい・・・
朝ですかね？お昼どきかなぁ？
などと想像しながら拝見してます！

Lovely scene. I agree with what everyone said, especially the "Get Smart" connection! :) But I don't think the purple cast effect the image at all. Very nicely captured.

Really nice image, the tones give it a 60s-70s feel that fits really well.

Looks very familiar and very east european. Did you visit other places in Romania too ?

Thanks Tad, Zbjernak, GCK, Manuel and George!!
I visited also Sibiu, Bucarest, Sighisoara.

ぺろさん、ありがとうございます！
これは夕刻ですね。おそらくお腹が減っている時に撮ったのだと思います。

Very nice shot!
I have relatives in Rumania (Bacau) and have been to Brasov too. Beautiful city with the big city wall, square and church.

Thank Ineke!!
Yes! Brasov is so beautiful.... :-)

Back to BW....Interesting shot..not your usualy style, but still interesting.

Thanks Jide!

Ah... colour AND not Tokyo this time! Nice one.

Thanks Duane!
Yes. I remember colors sometimes. :-)

i like shots like these ... I know it was taken recently, but that guys hat and old world setting makes it feel much older !

Thanks Crash!
Umm. The color adds the old feeling to the shot....

こんにちわ。お久しぶりです
わー。なんて素敵なシーンなのでしょう。
やわらかなセピアっぽい色調も　とても好きです。しばし見入ってしまいました。

kahoさん、お久しぶりです。
ありがとうございます！！

I like the composition and feel of this photo, the interaction between the to people.

Thanks Fabian!

Love the colour and composition! Great.

Thanks Lee!!

I'm romanian, so this is kind of familiar to me, but still I like the buildings, there is some history in them

Thanks Dan!!
I hope your country preserve these nice buildings. :-)

I like the glow of the lighting and the color. There's a classical feeling to the photo with the way they are dressed and the angle.

Thanks Alicia!!
Brasov has a nostalgic atmosphere. :-)

Róka

Thanks Roka!!

I love this image, what a touching and moving picture. It reminds me of my father and how gentlemman he was to my mother. Thanks for sharing it with me.
