Marriage - what a great title. Looks like they've been through a great deal, yet still hanging tough.

So many things I like of this picture... Their expression, the amount of detail, the light, the exposure to the limit and so the blacks, and above all the picture tells a story

Anyway: they are looking at the same object. She is thinking its a little frisky. Beautiful picture!

Marvelous image. On your title, I would rather say, "Marriage - experience has given us more joy than we had even hoped or dreamed. So glad that we avoided murder."

As I enjoyed this image, imaging the changes these two people have seen in their lifetimes, I realized he has a cell phone strapped to his belt...seen the changes and lived them! Wondeful capture of two dear old soles!

Stunning composition of life, love and experience of life. The tone is so very well matching the mature feeling of the shot.

I always marvel how the elderly are so content with just being in each other's company - often without saying a word. This is a great shot.

Rob from Velveetaville, United States
Their expressions are wonderful and speak volumes. This is a great capture as it can evoke some many thoughts as to who they are, what they are doing, where are they from, what there life together has been like... I could go on and on.
Cheers,
Rob

For marriage, aging maybe means more afffection than love between the old two. Though brownness occupies a tone of the picture but bright future can even be seen!

A great capture of a quiet moment ... they are together and they seems to be alone to the world....

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States
i love that! i can almost hear them talking. and i wonder what they have left to say to each other.
when you've been together that long, don't you already know everything there is to know about a person?

I don't really know if they are just tired from the hot weather out there or they are just miserable in their long lasting marriage. Anyway, this is a great photo!
