the ladies on the bench

Good reality street shot of these two ladies with obvious health issues but finding the way to project some happiness as seen on their smiling faces.Bravo for a good image.

Salutations-Laurent

Nice to sit on a bench and relax.  A few years ago my agent told me that if you sit too much, things start to sag.  I was 20 years old then, he was probably talking about himself.  They look like very sweet women. :)  K.C.

Nice composition. I like how you captured their happiness.

Interesting double portrait!

spot on again, Laurent; it's about their liveliness in spite of their handicaps; thanks katie, their endearing subjects; gerald, yah, about their good mood; hi, Sveta, portraits they are ;-} dp

This photo just radiates warmth.

Michael, so grateful you tuned into the warmth. they were lovely ;-}

The real question of course is why the left one brought a rocketlauncher to the park.

But seriously, I like it. It really show the cheer and character of the subjects.

On a "I wonder why..." note: somehow it feels a little cramped. I'm not sure but maybe the picture needs more breathing room on the top?

In the personal preference section: maybe a little more contrast? It seems like a very sunny day but the areas that should be practically washed out seem greyish.

But it's a picture worth doong something with. Maybe print it on a t-shirt with a pithy caption: "I'm not that old!"

Matthijs, it always helps to have your amusing interpretation... also i agree with you about the technical tweaks. in a tee shirt.. hummm, might be some money in that ;-} dp
