    I like your short series.
    Reminds of B.Ds latest, telling a story with a few consecutive shots. I wanted to say they were gambling or playing cards in the first, but wasn't sure until the secondd. I like both images very much and all the stark white in both (uniforms?).

    It looks like you caught them in the act, and they disbanded once the guy in the first shot noticed the camera :D

    He is looking at the other player. And the guy on the left stood up cuz he had to scratch...rolleyes1.gif

    I am very impressed by the exposure and processing. I find it so difficult to shoot groups of people dressed in white.

    He was definitely looking at the other player. But to be honest, I was a little surprised they didn't react to me. I know I'm close to invisible, but I'm not that transparent! rolleyes1.gif

    I was really glad to find the scene after seeing Awais' recent shot of the girl with men. It's a fun challenge to try and get it right.

    You've done a great job exposing all that white. THey look like restaurant staff taking a break for a quick game. I really like the eye contact of the fellow in #1 and the man to the far right who seems removed from the game. I'm betting there's a cell phone in his hands.
    The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

    great exposure and conversion

    given the mention of "series" shots I find #2 particularly humorous noting the guy, camera center left, adjusting his pants after crouching.
