Talking or enjoying the quiet?

1st real attempt at street style.
Saw these 2 while setting up for a night shoot. Couldn't get a better angle as they are right next to a river.
Shot iso200, f5.3, 4sec.

C&C please.

Like it. It's contemplative. The angle of the shot gives the relationship between the two an ambiguous feeling.

Very nice composition and good B&W conversion.

Not enough body language here to hook me without faces, though.

True. But lovely and, as Jen noted, contemplative. That, coupled with the composition and tonality does it for me.

Thanks michswiss. It was the question about the relationship that attracted me to the shot. They were already seated when I arrived and given the light levels (it was well into twilight) I couldn't see faces or body language.

Thanks rutt. I understand your comment about the lack of body language & faces, however it was just that ambiguity that attracted me. I wondered what the back story was.

I can't take credit for the conversion I'm afraid. It was shot b&w jpeg and then leveled etc in pp. Since I started lurking around this forum I tend to carry my camera set to b&w just in case.

Thank you B.D. for the generous comments . I felt there was something about it but wasn't sure, which lets be honest is why we learners post things - to see if our gut is right or wrong.
