I feel that part of good story-telling photography is to catch a moment where there is some tension and leave it ambiguous enough such that the viewer can project into the scene. This image does that very well!
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the detailed reply. Your thoughts describe exactly what I was going for in the shot so it's good to have that affirmed. I would have never tried a shot like this if it hadn't been for the WA. That's what keeps me coming back here week after week. It is like taking an online class in photography. Thanks to you and everyone here that help with constructive criticism.

I really like this Mark. It certainly makes you wonder what they are thinking about. I like the conversion to B/W and the DOF too. Great capture!
Hi Mairi,
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. The shot is certainly out of my comfort zone and it feels good because of that. I would like to improve in people shooting and shooting when the environment and subject interaction is the focus so to speak.

Very nice capture Mark. I would not want to be a teenager again for all the tea in China

Thank you Roberta. I hear you about the teenage years. They are difficult. That's why people say, "Oh my, if I knew then what I know now!" , ain't it the truth. The guy in this shot probably would not be walking by her with his head down if he already knew what he is going to know later.
