C'est tout à fait ça, une vision douce et romantique où l'on imagine Juliette apparaître au balconnet pour répondre à l'appel de son beau Roméo... c'est beau... (soupirs...)

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
This should be on the cover of a book, Michael - its ethereal beauty is astounding!
I see this as your own upstairs balcony, the reason for your romantic side! *smile*

@Judy: Thanks, Judy. Not my balcony but one in Italy.

Nice romantic mood here. It reminds me another version of Juliet's balcony…

Kevin from OrganicPIX.com from DFW, Texas, United States
The soft focus/processing matches the scene as if the viewer is also looking through a lace sheer. Very nice!
2 Oct 2008 2:28pm
@Kevin from OrganicPIX.com: Great thought. Many thanks, Kevin.
@Viewfinder: Perhaps so. many thanks, VF.
Betsy Barron from Glenmoore, United States
very soft & dreamy - I do wish the 'window' would pop out just a bit more from the image -- perhaps a smidge of a tighter crop on the upper right corner.. and left side. beautiful work !
2 Oct 2008 3:43pm
@Betsy Barron: Thanks for the suggestions, Betsy
@Radel: thank you, Radel.
Robin from Lunenburg, United States
Interesting, makes me want to know more about the scene.

2 Oct 2008 9:31pm
