Agree with Joline about that Summer Romance feel to it annette.
But the shot is not as tight here as Olivia Newton Johns leather pants
from the all time great Summer Romance film Grease !!

Definately a good un, Annette. Marvellous feeling of it floating in the midst of blurry nothingness (if you understand what I mean).
