hugo poon from hong kong, Hong Kong
Hey Mariana, this is captivating! Evocative and beautifully story-telling... your signature processing, strong silhouette and harsh contrast have wonderfully heightened the mood! You've got inspired by my pics? Wow, you've made me a very happy man!:-)

@hugo poon: Thanks Hugo :) Sure, I loved your 'close acquaintances' and when spotted these two I waited for them to come closer to each other, but you know , they are Canadians, it takes a little bit more time for them :)

The high contrast in this B&W is a great idea, and the result is beautiful

You are a great storyteller, Mariana. Each of your photos has something to say beyond the obvious. You are very much like K@ in this regard. This wonderful image is no exception.

Great black and white. This image is really well composed. I like how the bodies are orientated to each other but there is a huge gap between them.
