It didn't really do much for me, sorry. If I could put my finger on it, I would have posted that. Perhaps the lack of being able to see his eyes, or that there isn't really any connection between the two of them to say 'friends'. One is going about his day, and the other seems annoyed you are taking their picture.

Thanks for commenting.
In fact, at the time, to me they seemed friends. I used a telephoto and have taken due care to avoid noticing that I was shooting them. I focused a point and waited that they reached it to shoot. Yes, one seems annoyed but he really couldn´t be sure whether I was shooting them or something behind. The purpose of putting this picture here was to share an image of different people, wearing their traditional clothing, captured in their own environment. I think that overall, this fits the theme of the forum: people.
I like it. The title says friends, and I believe it; standing close to each other with similar clothing, age, hair style, lack of urgency, even seem to have similar eye-sight affliction.
The fellow looking toward the camera might be annoyed, or might just be an older fellow looking your way and about to break into a grin as he processes the notion that he is being photographed.
I met some guys in Morocco, but would rather have met these two guys. When I first read your title I thought it meant they were your friends.
I'm not sure about this one.... Technically, the shot is nice but in this picture, it seems to me (probably because of their different angle/direction they are looking and their different facial expressions) that the right guy is just walking by and the left guy is standing still, and they don't know each other at all. With that in mind, at first I though the title of this thread meant they were 'your' friends from Morocco.

I can assure that they came towards me chating while walking, wich led me to the conclusion that they were friends or even familiy...
Something (perhaps my presence) made the man on the left look into my direction and it happened exactly when I pressed the shutter.
