Roman antics!


In response to Peter's nice article (check out here), this photo is my way to evoke the subject of love in romantic Rome (or Rome-antique Rome, haha).

This photo has a story... It shows a couple in front of the Trevi fountain. I was dying to take a picture of people kissing in front of this amazing monument. So I sat on the steps and waited, my camera ready, for some strangers sufficiently in love not to care about kissing in front of all those tourist cameras...

But no one seemed to want to kiss! It was only when I was about to leave that I saw this handsome couple. I raced down the steps and sat in front of them!

I had time to take just one shot, this one... Yes, they kissed in the very second just before I pushed the shutter button!

I was disappointed at first, but finally I like this picture; the girl's grimace is kind of cute!

In fact, when you think about it, it's not because couples are in Rome that they look romantic... you can be in love anywhere and show that you are in love (but the Trevi fountain does help)!
