I don't know Nina and Patrick but you framed them nicely. Black and white is the right choice. Great double portrait showing a beautiful mood in such frozen condition. Tfs.
Seasons greeting to you, Nina and Patrick.

Roman from Thiersee, Austria

nettes Portrait Franz; der kleine Textureffekt lässt einen die Kälte förmlich spüren.
Wünsche dir schöne Weihnachten.

You capture the joy of being young very well; the cold does not mean so much at that age.
Schöne Festtage, Franz !

I don't think they feel the cold! In the contrary...I believe that those smiles might warm everybody around!
We had 15 deg.C today here and no sign of snow! But..they say that it's getting colder for sure!

They sit so tight, it almost feels like a fotobox-cabin shot ;)
I don´t know if we´re better off with around 0°C today - but it´s so wet and ugly - I´d rather like some real dry cold. or better, +23° ;D

I like your portraits very much they have an enjoyment of life about them that I find very warming and pleasurable, nice work Franz

23 Dec 2010 4:22pm

@Adrian: that's a very satisfying comment, adrian! i do think that sometimes there is not quite enough of that - enjoyment of life - around, so why not show and celebrate it when it's there ?!?
