I love the oversaturated greass in this picture. Great PP skills to bring that out.

Thanks, Daniel. I usually don't saturate more than a shade, but I thought it was suitable here to give it a real lift. I wanted to emphasise the red blanket, too.

Johnny: This was quite early in the morning and most people were going to work, as I was, standing at the bus stop, when I saw this scene.
Markus: I guess you're refering to the saturation, and you may be right.

I wasn't looking at the saturation as much (as most others seem to be) as the couple in the shot. They drew my attention right away and made me wonder about the way I carry myself in public with my own significant other. You know, it's a credit to you to be able to capture a candid image of someone without interfering in their life / lives. I know I consciously adopt a mullet out of water look whenever in front of the camera, so the innocence of seeing people just being themselves is a powerful magnet.

PS Good job with the saturation. ;)

@Sash: I think I did catch a good moment here, if I say so myself!

I really find myself being drawn to this picture. Great capture.
