[Leica] Subways lovers cropped version

[michiel.fokkema at wanadoo.nl (Michiel Fokkema)]

Hi Ted,

I do not agree with you.
I really like this picture and poetry as Philippe calls it is in my 
opinion a good description.
I don't need much stretching of my imagination to make something of it.
I suggested to crop it even more as was already done.

Best regards,

Michiel Fokkema
