Lovely shot. The use of the B&W is an excellent idea in this kind of take. Very good framing and excellent sharpness. You did a very nice job, congratulations.

Very good composition Antonio ! We do not know if they are saying goodbye each other, or if they join again after a long time...
What I also like, is the respect of their intimacy. Their faces are not visible, and there was no need for it, as their posture is evocative enough.
The BW choice reinforces the romantic mood.
Very good work !

Antonio, Have you asked them to go sit there? Maybe the train is not coming.

Whatever, it's realy a good composition, It's sharp and well framed.

Train station is a good place to get nice scene like this one. As already said, B&W works well here. You made a good composition. Love story! :-)

A great daily life, real life shot. They don't seem to care about you, about the trains, about anything. Yes, there are many questions left unsolved, and that's what so interesting here. Good job, Antonio.

Coincidence ! cette photo à été prise en avril. Je sais qu'il existe une vieille chanson intitulée "Avril au Portugal", musique du film "Les amants du Tage". La composition est bonne, bon cadrage, mais cette scène au bord du fleuve serait plus romantique.

Coincidence! this photograph was taken in April. I know that there is an old song entitled "April in Portugal", music of film "the lovers of Tage". The composition is good, good framing, but this scene at the edge of the river would be more romantic.

Boa composição a opção do P&B funcionou muito bem.
Bom registo, um abraço!

Perfect. This train at the background gives a feeling (at least to me) of a moment thet passses away so fast

Great composition! The B&W works perfectly on this scene!

It is simple, I love it. It is so romantic... At our time, a love story goes so fast, as the train, just behind ! Very very nice !

Absolutely stupendous street photography. A true decisive moment.

Foto excelente! O PB funciona na perfeição aqui. Gosto bastante da posição pouco "convencional" dos namorados. Dá um toque especial à foto bem como a grande diagonal feita pelo comboio.
