I don't get the title (nothing new there ehh :-) but I do love the dark portrait and the sense of movement and city life you've captured. Whose black heart? and are you the third in the procession?
I can't listen to the music at the moment sorry, as I'm at work....I'll have another look tonight.
PS - nice to see you posting new pics again!

@Ian Bramham: Let me ask: you have a problem getting titles in general or mine specifically?...
Whose? Well, it's a procession. Number three is sure mine.
Hey, since (you think) you didn't get the title, I challenge you to listen to the song and, having read this (if you have), tell me what you've made of everything. After all, that's what I expect when I choose titles and songs for my photos, especially seemingly cryptic ones. (And the interpretations I get can be a real surprise sometimes...)
PS. Thanks a lot for still stopping by!
nice portrait! I like the movement!

@paola veneziani photography: Thanks, Paola. (I didn't stop walking to take this one...)
Well after an hour or so of being haunted by her music.... I feel like an 18 year old again....very emotional and uncertain about life. Thanks for the experience of being peeled away...
About your photo I'm still lost on the three part unless its about emotional conflict with the other person on the photo....you clearly have a complex relationship there....I'm assuming he's the tiger of the title but guess that he probably thinks you are really (I know that I would) as you know how simply we guys see life...nowhere as complex as tigresses
Now you can tell me how wrong I am :-)

@Ian Bramham: It's an... interesting experience, to say the least, right?
(More below...)
Hi Guillermina....I was on the road today driving for hours and hours with plenty of time to dwell on your photo and that haunting music. In fact I'm listening to it from her site right now.
He isn't letting you into his heart is he.
Is the third person diverting his attention from you....?

@Ian Bramham: Oh, Ian, this is so very sweet of you... See why I told you about the surprising interpretations I get?
Let us say your reading is as valid as the idea I had in mind when putting photo, title, and song together. That's the good thing about subjectivity, isn't it? There's no right or wrong.
And I'm truly sorry to say this, but reality, if that's what you were asking about, is quite far from your plot... :) Anyway, you have a very productive imagination. You should definitely exploit that!
Thanks a lot for taking time to write and ponder. I very much appreciate this kind of exchange...
