I *do* enjoy its simplicity... What a great photograph and concept. I wanted to thank you actually, for putting up this picture, because it just brings so much pure delight and pleasure to me. I adore it! **My first favourite**
...I'd say more, but it seems everyone's said what I had in mind... so clean, and aw, the way they're gazing at each other... It makes me so jealous that I don't have such great portraits with my man... *grrr, seriously...
So perhaps, on a rainy day, there's always your other half to share an umbrella with?

what should i look for when i'm buying a camera? i bought a digi one recently from officemax but it takes soooo long between photo's and the auto flash tend to be too bright.

your romantic couple reminds me of a childsprogram that runs in belgium...it is called tik-tak and it used to have a total black figurine doing stuff...i guess this image gives me melancholic feelings
+beeing under an umbrella with your lover just gives that extra intimacy, it cuts the couple of from it's environment...it kind of "frames" them... so great composition
