    Re: Street Talk

    Your ability to capture a moment that is worth looking at over and over again is unique. The generation gap here is very interesting. The two young ones on etiher side of the two elders engaged in conversation is a juxtapose in action, activity, age and interests.
    As usual, the tones and aesthetics are all eye candy as well.
    Very well done and seen.

    Fantastic, the blur surrounding the two young boys going in opposite directions frames the very sharply captured figures in the centre of the frame. The expressions on the faces of the man and woman are great, I hope that they also get to see this.

    Gary, summed it all up - wonderful photo with great power of youth and age in an interesting environment.

    Reminds me of photo's by Cartier-Bresson - an encapsulation of a perfect moment in time.

    A Tuna original is hard to beat, no problem putting the seal of approval on this little gem. The contrast of young and old going in opposite direction and the two obviously unaware of the other makes this image. My existence as a photographer would be validated if some one would put my name in the same sentence with Cartier-Bresson.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    For me the children are distractions and keep pulling my eye away from the main subjects.

    As far as I can tell there is really nothing to critique here.

    It is hard to imagine that there is any way to improve on what you have presented.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    And I have seen photo like this before. That one doesn't even have anything like the couple here in the middle of the photo.
