 Taken in the parking lot in front of the building where I work. Some of you may recognize the hibiscus tree and windows across the street as they show-up fairly frequently in my pictures. I have no idea who these people are. From the way they are dressed (she's in a real dress, and he has on a coat and tie), I'm guessing that it's a lawyer and his client, since no one dresses like this in the summer unless they have to. I'll guess further that they are on their way back from court. (It was just about the time the courts dismiss for lunch.) At any rate, I liked the way they are in such perfect step that you can hardly tell that there's someone beside the guy.

I was thinking that they might be more like a couple BECAUSE they were walking in unison with each other. I love that you caught her reflection in the window across the street.

I really love this, it has a slightly old-time feeling to it, as if it could have been taken in the forties or fifties.
The composition is wonderful, the hibiscus balancing out the area of the subjects. (wow.. does that sound as poncy to anyone else as it does to me?)

anyway.. excellent shot, well done :)

This is a great B&W! You may already have an entry for street photography, if not, this would have been perfect (I know it's too late now) :) This is a really great capture!

Lovely candid shot, which would have been a very nice entry in the streetlife challenge

Strangely although you cant see either of their faces you do get a feeling that there is a nice degree of tenderness and caring between the two of them (though if this is a lawyer and clent then I guess this isnt really likely...unless the client is rich...then the lawyer might care!!!)

Nice timing on the feet there, it works really well not having the faces, too. This feels so very old, great B&W treatment here.

I like that no faces are showing. Adds to the "mystery" of the shot.

It seems quite emotive to me as well... the way he is obviously turning to her, but you can tell her head is maybe, hanging just a bit and straight ahead. Nice capture... I feel like we're walking with them.

Well timed. The black and white makes the image look like it is out of the 50's. What a wonderful capture.

I like the b&w, and that the faces are hidden. Interesting shadows on the backdrop.

Fantastic shot. It brings to mind a picture from some important news story from the 60's -- the little bit of lens flare (I think that's what it is, by the tree), the way they're dressed, the way their heads are averted. This is wonderful.
