Photographer's Note
Near Park St. and Filenes Basement:
The old woman was helping her beloved up the steep road. It was so sweet and she helped him all the way up by pushing him lightly. Everyone around noticed this beautiful display proving that love lasts.
All I really did in pp was change the original color to Sepia. I also was standing across the street so I cropped out the road to get a tighter shot of the subject. Should I have taken the tall man out?

Hi Talia, very nearly a great street photo! No, you should not have cropped out the tall man and it is his rather condescending look that helps to make the photograph. The pillar here is a useful compositional element to focus attention on the tall man and the old couple - without it, there would have been empty space. Two things I think would have improved the image. The first is still possible - delete the sepia for a good old fashioned black-and-white image. I know sepia is very in fashion on TE but the majority of images really look better untoned. The second would have been to use a wider angle lens to get a little closer to the action. The lens you have used makes the viewer feel a little distant and more of an observer. A very nice try though and I'm giving two points! Best wishes Stephen

Hola Talia, me gusta mucho esta foto, porque encuentro diferentes personas, en diferentes actitudes, la columna como dividiendo la foto en dos, ambas escenas iguales con la letra "D" y muchas personas haciendo cosas diferentes, 3 de cada lado, bueno el color y la luz, saludos.

Hi Talia,
You captured a very nice moment here. I would maybe cut a bit from the right and perhaps try to eliminate the two people on the extreems that do not add much.
Bravo, Florin

Talia,
At first I was going to say cut the tall guy but then I read russte's comment .. and his right .. I just wish the tall guys shirt was not so bright. Wonderful moment .. great eye for a capture.
