As there isn't a hell of a lot of time to think about all the nit picking details! Some of the criticism about backgrounds, angles etc. I realize are well meaning. But when it comes down to the "Moment of life" one doesn't really do the analytical things offered by some. One sees and shoots and if the photographers re-action to action is right on the mark, as you have here,. then the picture works, period! Your photograph is so well executed for timing, exposure, focus point there really isn't anything to say.. other than Cartier Bresson eat your heart out! It's a solid life moment picture of two humans deep in conversation.. And certainly one to offer for the FOM 2 series. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
