John Masters from Durham, United States
I love the contrast here - Are they waiting for a bus? I see a place for me to sit on the end there ;)
14 Aug 2009 12:37pm
@John Masters: Thanks John. No, this was not a bus stop, but just outside a gallery. By all means, you can sit on the end beside the lonely person all in white ;-)
Polydactyle from Montreal, Canada
Excellent angle of view! The contrast is perfect and the composition too. 5 stars as usual... :)

All the body language is so interesting. Love the fact that the top person is cut off adding a bit of mystery.
