Very interesting work in black and white! I like how you showed this event, the image of people on the side. If you look at this picture from afar, you can see many different details. Your imagination immediately starts working! Excellent work of art!

I like the simplicity of the theme in this,two people connecting makes for a nice scene and b/w adds that i feel a surreal feel,not sure why the box though maybe you intended another element as a balance to the couple in this...Brian

    Brian, Your review started out so good but quickly went to shit when you didn't recognize the marquee or the people below. You didn't notice the selfie above the couple and but you noticed the focal point. So that would give you the opportunity to give " the fool on the hill " a 4 1/2 and destroy one of his sixes. You have nothing to gain but you continue. I've tried very hard to help you see and understand art, I wind up writing long dissertations that get me no where. Before I wanted to "hold your hand" and explain all the intricacies of art, Its like I'm "back in the USSR" and "You don't know how lucky you are" that you have a friend like me, that takes the patience with you. "Now its time to say good night" Ray

    that was a mistake on my part as i did i thought give you five for this one,will alter it,sometimes i don,t always get if you like some pieces of art but how many people who constantly giive you five really look at stuff and just give five regardless,

Love the black and white. Did she/he say yes? Love how small you made the couple , its like a wide world out there and yet we focus on the only other humans. Very cool

    Lise, I am glad you enjoy this. Love between two people is so powerful and is most important to them, nothing else seems to matter. The power of love and devotion, is so strong and when the time is right, leads to proposal, a request for commitment. Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Ray

So creative and wonderful content for this black and white contest. I wonder if she said yes or was this one of the modern ones with the reverse roles.

I like their placement within the frame and the background that could be interpreted more than one way. Interestingly we are just now debating next vacation -to Proposal Rock, Oregon.
Best of luck in the contest - great entry.

    I just leave it as two people who care to commit to a relationship. In there minds they are the most important people at that time. Thank you for your wonderful review, rating and comments. I find it amazing coincidental that you are planning a trip to Proposal Rock, Oregon. Have a wonderful time. Ray

Comment from soulfeeder


This proposal scene looks pretty eerie, Ray. Please correct me I am wrong, is that a glass casket on the right side? If yes, then this looks like a Halloween scene. I like this that you've presented this in Monochrome.
An image with a strange story to tell. Well done.

Oh this is very timely for me - my daughter proposed to her girlfriend whilst on holiday in Malta, just yesterday. Love is in the air - she said yes! I'm a sucker for a bit of romance and this artwork has an air of mystery that has set my mind whirring - who are they and where are they? A great entry for the contest.

    Wow thats great, congratulations. What a coincidence and the questions, they are two people who love each other and they are far above the madding crowd. If you look hard enough you will see a selfie just above the couple. Thank you so much for this fabulous review, rating and wonderful news of your daughter's special day. I am so happy you enjoyed this. Ray

Hi Ray, this image "The Proposal " is a good entry into this contest. Good use of light and shade with good textures. It seems like an underground city or bunker, complete with mall and movie theatre. Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing:-)
