Again, I love the history behind these lovely images and beautiful composition and black and white tones

I just can't make my mind up if I should be irritated by the out of focus pigeon?

But the more I look at it, I think it works because it concentrates on the couple that you have photographed!

Ecxellent work!

Interesting you should mention the pigeon - I thought much the same thing.  If I had shot this with a compact/bridge camera - the only other cameras which really seem to encourage you to shoot from the ground - the pigeon would have most likely come out pin-sharp. I must confess I was going for that pin-sharp picture - I even shot at 800ISO to get as slow an aperture as possible - but it really wasn't going to happen on a dSLR sensor.  Still, I quite like the blurry version too - comparing little things with great, it reminded me of Holbein's famous painting:
