Trina Pratt & Todd Gilles
2004 Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships
Junior Free Dance - Practice

This is one of my all-time favorite photos I've ever taken. It was practice for the junior free dance and Todd and Trina were performing their modern version of "Romeo & Juliet" (the Clare Danes/Leonard DiCaprio movie). I was on the "wrong" side (opposite the judges) but it was so very right in that I was able to capture this moment only from that angle. The way her arm and hand caress his face and the way he grabs it and the way they look at each other... Sigh.
