I like this shot, Brian. The crop is perfect - it makes the couple blend in with the entire scene.

PS I think you meant "Quiet Spot" LOL

What would ever propel this couple into the limelight of an amateur photographer such as myself?

 

They succeeded in finding a somewhat secluded area in the mists of thousands of tourists on a busy August summer Saturday at Baltimore's Inner Harbor.  Not much behind them but in front of them they see a parade of two-way traffic, perfect for people watchers with their own picnic table, and shade, compliments of this gigantic propeller (which has been designed to propel away the light from distant suns).

 

Enlarging and cropping the image only promotes fuzziness and white outlines from the less than desired mega-pixel cameras used to capture it.  Normally I would have cropped away the surrounding un-interesting area but considering the above explanation, it at least helps to show the relative calmness the couple found within the Harbor's flurry of chaotic activity.

 

Waist-hand-held dual camera rig, 2-finger sync "sneak" shot, PS CS-2, SPM.

 

Cheers,
