Everyone has a different reaction to images and one can have a reaction to the same pic at different times. Tonight I find this quite sad. Your capture is exceptional.

First thought: What is so odd about them? Then I read your explanation… 😉 I like the light in this shot.

These excellent colors make the pic really warming.

I like a lot this scene, the lightning, the mood, and their gesture, as they were alone in the world…

nicely captured moment … and I love this vintage looking train!

A fine moment to get this couple enjoying each other’s company. The car itself is a photographic prize to shoot. Nice one.

I agree with Don. Beautiful scene!

hahahahaha… your description is hysterical. I would have thought this was just a really nice pic with really warm, rich colors, if hadn’t said anything. Instead… I’m still laughing. And.. ‘train’??? What kind of train is that? It looks like one of those trolley tours. Nicely done pic and fun commentary!

Definitely an interesting shot, such a fascinating train, love the wooden seats. Amazing how you seem to capture such scenes Rian. You create a sense of being there, yet no one seems to notice you.

At first glance I saw only one guy, and now wondering what the other one ( girl) was doing down :)) Super cool shot and super processing ! Love these rich tones !

I think the reality does not matter – what comes across in your image does matter. And it feels tender and kind. Not that “not so sober” could not be tender and kind, but it is not likely. And I like that they seem to be the only ones on the bus – a lovely capture.

A sympathetic picture and a sentimental moment.

great shot

He just likes to take shelter under the arms of his strong woman 🙂 Lovely image! I like the warm tones!

I love these old trolleys…did you also visit the old Real World while you were down in New Orelans?

i googled real world new orleans and came up with The Belfort mansion in NOLA.. is that the one? i guess not.. 😀

There is a “end of the day” feeling to me, the moment for relaxing. Unless it is a very early shot, after a long night… And it’s good to share it, now that i’m relaxing looking at my favorite blogs 🙂
