    Interesting that the guy sitting down is looking at her with what seems like a sense of bewilderment. Cool shot!


    ***I might be tempted to try to crop out the random feet/legs on the right.

    Rainbow,
    I love your conversion!!!
    Some might say that the shadows could be brought out a little more, but I like it as is:)

    As for the shot, great capture. Her smirk, the young guys stare, is he checking her out, I can't tell?
    Then the older man's smile at the woman whose sneakers are the only visible feature.

    I like this capture.

    Love it. Very self satisfied look on the lady's face!! The fact that you got the feet really makes this picture.

    I don't get the title, but who cares? Fun photo!!

    Yeah, my take is she is reacting to something the guy said/did...

    I disavow the high contrast highlights as they were in the bright sun while I was shooting in the shade...:cry

    I believe some interchanged happened between the guy and the girl which is why their expressions and body language seem connected. And the older guy has seen it all (but is still looking...rolleyes1.gif)

    "Chagrin" was the word that came to mind first when I looked at the guy. Then it also applied to the striding woman.

    BUT... no one mentioned my favorite person in the photo: the older woman spying on them (behind the guy and through the glass). She is tailing one of them...:hide

    I noticed that. But then again, she might have been noticing the bloke with the camera coming toward her. Not to pick on the title, but "smug" seems a better description of the expressions than "chagrin." Otherwise, nice clean pedestrian shot.
