    You're good at capturing people in postures that make the photo interesting. I've found that it's not hard to spot interesting people, but capturing them when they are in interesting poses is quite another thing. (And I don't mean "poses" as in posed scenes.)

    Thank you Tony. Very much appreciated.

    It may just be me but I don't get 'news' from the image itself. I love the composition so I wouldn't want to see a wider shot showing the news, so maybe the title is a bit off?

    As Tony said, you have a knack for capturing people in a very dynamic way. This one is no exception. Well done! thumb.gif

    I didn't either. They could be looking at penguins in a zoo. However, that didn't stop me from liking this shot. They're certainly focused on something, and I love the composition. thumb.gif My only nit is that the blacks look a little plugged on my monitor, though I know I'm not missing anything there. :D

    A very nice shot. Had you pulled back - and towards them - just a bit, we might have gotten a hint that they are reading wall postings, while also seeing their postures.

    I do like how they are both engaged with different emotions while reading whatever they have selected. The stance of the one with the umbrella is wonderful.

    It's been raining for the last seven days and I figured it was about time to go out and get wet. Basically a day taking pictures in the rain. Thanks for the thoughtful comments.

    FYI, they were actually looking at Zebra's. mwink.gif If you'll excuse me now, I'm going to go slap myself about the caption. :smack
