Returning home to Maryland on Friday after cycling in the North Carolina mountains this past week, my wife and I attended the monthly, downtown 'bash' with a great band. As we were leaving, I spotted these two having a grand time mouthing the song words and dancing up a storm. They were not shy (they turned out to be local politicians).
I did not have my camera but did have my iPhone! Since I am also on grandchild babysitting duty this weekend and only have my iPad, I decided to experiment with editing using LR and PS on the iPad. It was challenging.
Edits include some removal of other people (that worked well). Removing the telephone and light poles behind the subjects was only marginally successful. Other edits are mostly light and shadow. I need more practice with this (my normal editing is done on a desktop Mac).

Bruce, indeed this couple is engaged in singing and expressing their feelings with their body language and gesture. The image is sharp, and I like the subdued illumination. Posted: 07/15/2025 16:29:01

This image spreads happiness. Would that more of this spread around with the craziness of our current conditions worldwide. Well done. Posted: 07/19/2025 21:17:04

Bruce--The body language and expressions are wonderful. I would crop out a lot of the sky/wires. I love their foreshortened hands reaching out to the viewer. I'm with Bev: more of this kind of energy is needed in the world. Posted: 07/25/2025 15:46:36

Nice Image. Emotion of the couple capture attention. POV is nice . I would still like some people around, looks like the place is deserted. Technical quality of the image is excellent.
