    Another excellent shot! Seriously, I can't find much room to critique your work, lol.

    At first glance, I thought that the person in the background is a distraction. However, she complements the picture by projecting the sense of background action, while the two main characters are so engrossed. Thx for sharing!

    The man in the background is actually her other parent. All 3 were at the table together and yet the scene struck me as an illustration of total teenage alienation from parents - no connection.

    Excelellent!
    My blood curls (is that the proper cliche--I'm kind of like Ricky Ricardo with cliches)--I know this scene is normal but it leaves me cold.

    I just want to go over there and shake the teen and tell her to put her leg down!

    You definately got a reaction out of me Patti--well done.

    And she doesn't even have cell phone or iPad/Touch in front of her. Just lost in space!

    Parents never understand Teenagers, and that's the Classic look :D

    Too bad it can't be. It was a hip shot that I was lucky to get in focus. mwink.gif

    You'd never catch my daughter like that -- she'd be in a different room! rolleyes1.gif

    This is a wonderful human nature capture!
