    Lord have mercy!!! Does that picture tell a million stories --- or do I just have an overactive imagination--- Excellent storytelling and putting the background in black and white was the perfect touch IMO.

    I like how you got down to their level to take the shot. However, I think it needs to have the sides cropped in a bit closer to make the shot feel a bit more intimate. Background is a bit too busy as is.

    The background isn't black and white on the picture, BUT I do think it would really work.

    Thanks,all good points..re-editing.
    -the selective color was done as an experiment,when I saw how it bled a bit.- thought I should leave it.....fit the mood ?
    Does the background need to change-kinda a guy theme/contrast ,like hard edges against some deep feelings with going on in the foreground ?

    N.B. shot at distance,to keep out of their moment.
