Up & Down

Great story, Bob!

A great study in people just hanging out on a bench.  I love the background.

Jack Sprat, I presume?

There is some strong body language going on here! well captured Bob.

Love the shot. Real street photography - it speaks volumes about our society.

Best regards,

hi Bob,

wonderful

Ben

great shot!

Very well captured!!!!

Thanks for taking the time to write your thoughts.

This is really something else...she looks like a hungry octopus... 

Love the contrast - in more ways than one! You have a good eye to catch this image and your choice of B&W is right on in my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Bob! I think this is an interesting, well captured street shot. It is well composed and has excellent tonal range. I like your choice of frame. It gives a bit life, or energy that invigorates the image. I think the octopus comment above was cruel and unneccesary. I think it is sad that people still think it is alright to laugh at obese people, like with those Walmart People e-mails. I am sure you didn't take this shot to laugh at these two but because you thought they were an interesting couple with interesting stories. They both look very sad.  It looks like she only has one breast. As a BC survivor this is something I sympathize with.

Thank you all for your wonderful, kind comments. 

Great :)

Great capture , your presentation made me smile . Bill

One of those images where you can't decide what to say, because the image itself does all the talking!

Great shot!

Kind regards,

Wonderful street scene and character study. I like the humanism about this-a slice of life, of people with feelings and needs and problems, and perhaps at the moment, no real problems. The background looks as though this may have been taken at t theme park. The black and white is perfect for this. Great shot.

Great capture and framing.  I like to take interesting people but never want to make them feel uncomfortable.  I try not to show faces and then I don't have to ask permission. Do I?

Hi Bob,

A simple shot.

A clever presentation.

Best Regards,  Mike

I love what you've here in the post process Bob.

Hi Bob,

Totally cool shot.  All of it. Their appearance and their mood captured superbly. One in a million.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look & for your kind comment.
