A few blocks away from the packed sections of Rosario's Florida beach, a couple of lovers kiss by the Parana River. (click on picture for high res)
You might notice the small framing mistake I made on this picture. Indeed, always try to include the sky in my shots to enhance the impression of depth. Somehow I got fooled by the external viewfinder of the Leica X1 and chopped it off, this is partly due to the finder's very tight frame lines.
Leica X1 at 36mm, F8.0, 1/500, ISO100
I'd say that including the guys legs would have added more to the photo than the sky. It's a point of interest, how hairy his legs are, in contrast to the silky smooth legs on the girl!
Did not notice the hairy legs until Abtin mentioned it. Good point by Abtin about the leg being point of interest :)
Olga you just ruined this picture for me, LOL

I see you setting your shutter speed at 1/500 in quite a few of your photos and you adjust the aperture accordingly depends on the surroundings. Thanks for your advise from a comment last year. I've finally started shooting with manual exposure this year with my X2. It's strange especially I shoot usually at night where the lighting can change dramatically. Even I asked myself if it's a better idea to just go with auto unless I shoot during the day, does it matter?
That's a perfect moment you captured! You're a tall ninja ;P
