Your photography is interesting to me. I don't usually "get" street photography. I don't understand this particular Haiku. And, I don't know for sure what is going on in the photo. Yet it is visually interesting to me. Part of the reason may lye in the repeated shapes of the shadows and the fine distribution of the values. But, most of it must be in trying to figure out the mystery! Very cool indeed! Let me proceed.

A compelling photo. The viewer is obliged to study it and create the 'story.' Very unique.

Love how they bend while walking tight, love the complicity here, exhaustion or just game, too much sun or too much fun... We can imagine what we want, that 's real cool, while their shadow stands up more seriously than they do :)

I see a message of tenderness and evident complicity between the child and the adult !

Genial la toma. El encuadre me gusta, resalta la acción de caminar y el blanco y negro es muy bueno.

very close together, the light and the shadow are not competing nut walking together! What a picture!

A touching photo! No bad jokes, the proportions are very well exploited. And what about this title incredibly well chosen.

Sometimes I wonder whether you first have the quote or the picture, anyway it appears to me that you do an excellent work writing stories with your camera.

Somehow I connect the towel around the waist to a day at the beach or the lake. And with the Haiku, perhaps a bit of sunbathing? Nice shot.

Twin shadows come together on the same path of connivance ... between the light and shadow ..steps go to amble, foliage designs movements , lines of haiku to accompany the image, great shot., superb B&W.

An interesting image with lots of questions and a sense of urgency created by the angle, as if in a hurry. Nice!

So cool and mysterious shot : we can make our own story. Complicity ? Dispute ? Shadows bring intimacy, your framing's very dynamic, and this point of view tightened on their... mmm... wades, legs, feet... is quite funny :)
