I saw this photo and gushed with romantic thoughts. I also imagined how many thousands of rings a jeweler could sell if they ever got this idea for a pose to use in an ad. That aside, I prefer this photo tenfold over Mom And Dad’s Love [link] in which I don’t care for the angle, the lighting is horrid, and I can’t make out most of the words on the pages. Normally I would find fault with the main subject being in the center of the photo as this. However, in this case the pose demands it, by proof of the difference in this and [link] Therefore I give five stars for the artist’s vision and technique in this photo. The impact speaks for itself in the double take one does in wondering if this could be real or a manipulation. But, I also love the way the light is centered with the ring and that the clarity is above reproach as I can actually read all of the words on both pages. Five stars for impact. This is an amazing sight and a romantic bliss. I love it. Five stars for originality as well.
