Description

What are they talking about? Are they gossiping? Questions like these crossed my mind while shooting but didn't feel like asking them...lol.

Comments

Dan Holm December 10, 2004

Excellent catch, Sanjay! Love their body language and how the different color umbrellas reflect their perspnalities! A truly OUTSTANDING shot that suggests a wonderful story!! #195372

Jordi Delgado December 10, 2004

LOL!!! Wouldn't it be easier for them to share the same bench??

Excelent capture, Sanjay!!

:-)) #963557

Danilo Piccioni December 10, 2004

Super Sanjay! hey, maybe they were talking of the weather....LOL #963558

Tracy D. Siermachesky December 10, 2004

Awesome capture, Sanjay! Love the composition and it really does tell a story. It's perfect! Great job! #963565

Stanley J. Contrades December 10, 2004

Probably some long-time friends comfortable in discussing world events, at least the gentleman is with his 'walking' slippers under the bench! Very nicely executed, Sanjay, and what appears, for them, to be a very traditional way of doing things(?). Great job!!
Aloha,
Stan #963577

Leanne M.E. Boyd December 10, 2004

Excellent Sanjay! I ditto all the above! #963587

Patty Razonable December 10, 2004

If the gossip is good, I'm all ears!!
Great shot, Sanjay!! #963616

Donald K. Cherry December 10, 2004

Great shot, Sanjay! I love how the umbrellas partially obscure their faces!

My "checkered" shot is in the contest now...I just uploaded it last night to see how it was going to look. I hope you will go back and comment on it again..lol! I'm going to write you when I get to work..but until then..keep your chin up and as you always tell me...."relax"! #963631

Allan L. Whitehead December 10, 2004

Wonderful presentation, Sanjay, obviosly they are discussing the merits of Digital over Film, eh… Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan #963633

Cindy Paquette December 10, 2004

A wonderful portrayal of these people Sanjay...I echo Dan's comment regarding their body language..it conveys a comfort level between them. This is so very good... #963866

Claudia Kuhn level-classic December 10, 2004

What a great find! I, too, think we'll see this again, love the whole comp and umbrellas. #963913

Marcie A. Fowler December 10, 2004

They are probably saying "do you see that guy with the camera . . . do you think he's taking our picture . . . why is he taking our picture??? (LOL)!! Fantastic capture here Sanjay. You captured so many different elements so very well. Leaves the interpretation of the image open to the viewer. Fantastic job! #963995

Joy Brown December 10, 2004

Fantastic!!! #964049

Wally Orlowsky December 10, 2004

Great capture, Sanjay. Sometimes the unanswered questions make the shot far more interesting. #964076

Dolores Neilson December 10, 2004

Excellent story captured, Sanjay!! Nicely done indeed! #964180

Amy N. Cappelli December 10, 2004

Love it! so many ways to look at it. at first it looked like she was trying to trade umbrellas with him. but the body language did speak of two who were more familiar. then when looking longer at it, it seemed at if she was trying to convince him to come home. what ever is happening between the two of them, whoever they are- the scene is thought provoking and that is what makes this a very powerful image. great work Sanjay! #964357

cj patterson December 10, 2004

wonderful image...excellent capture of this moment...great eye! #964388

Mellanie December 10, 2004

kathy wolfe December 10, 2004

I love a photo that I can study...and this is that one. My first thought was..its doesnt look like its raining..why do they have umbrellas? Sanjay, this is phenomenal (is that how you spell it- LOL!). A true true work of art. If this doesnt win, I'm making a phone call ;) ;) #964627
