Thanks for looking, and even more thanks if you spend some time on a

comment.

If you are patient, people just walk into your finder. I appreciate

your comments. Have a good light!

I spent about fifteen minutes waiting there for the perfect moment -

took a few snaps - the rain turned into snow then.

Thanks for your comments, ideas, observations.

:)

this is great, i really like the way you made it.

Thanks, Michael. I see what you mean - however the towel-girl on the black and white version is a bit lost, that's my feeling...

It IS a snapshot, by the way:) Yeah, there were way too many things in the frame, but that was the scene, couldn't do anything about.

Yes, Michael, i had somewhat the same feeling when i was right there. However, i was standing up there for a short while, listening to him, and he seemed quite lost in his music, meaning, not caring much if there's anybody around paying attention... Just playing for himself, for the fun, not for the audience.

Thanks for the look&words, guys.

Was it fun?

It is clearly stated toat you are not allowed to photograph Lisa. She is camera-shy, probably.

I thought it's a funny combination. Your oppinion will be most

welcome! Have a good light today.

Your comments would be very welcome, thank you! "Large" view looks a

bit better.

in an indoor shopping center. I'd appreciate if you would write a

few words about what you think of this photo. Thanks!

Thanks Peter.

Hehh, honestly, there was even more "breathing space" around them, on the orifinal full frame. In a large format print it works like that, but not on the PN interface - the face details,e.g., got lost when i made it "fit". So, i cropped :D

As to the sisters or not question/comment: They indeed look similar, i bet they are family. Lately(?) i see here alot of these scenes where some members of the same islamitic family wear a 'hoofddoek' and look very traditional, while their sisters/brothers are completely "westernized". Even on the pub street in the late evening you can see a few girls walking together, with this combination. Strange enough though to have them in the same family - probably the rules are much less strict nowadays and it's more of their own choice what they do with their tradition.

Yes, they made eye contact with the camera, good point:) It was a TLR on waist level. I've set focus and exposure behind a pillar and then stepped out, framed and exposed, to make sure they won't shy away. Three seconds later they were not looking at me anymore...

this is great, modern human enjoying the beach the nature of our era

i like the choice of DOF too, and the colours. Only one little thing, the black bag(?)on the left is a bit strange. Nothing serious.
