Deep Conversation

They look like a couple of right characters :)
I’m a bit drawn to the 3rd guy in the shop, not sure if he adds to the shot or not.Interesting what Mark said.
I looked at this earlier & was constantly looking at the guy in the shop.I can imagine that conversation.
Last week we had a Wayne Rooney doppleganger in the portrait section.
I can’t look at the guy on the right without Brendan Gleeson springing to mind.Nice one all the same.

This is a really cool moment you caught, very interesting characters.
Sometimes its just about luck, and unfortunately the guy in the shop is a bit distracting. I wonder if there could be some processing to “tone him down”, either with a bit of sheen on the window or dodging him or blur. But PP like that might be obvious in such a central position.
From the exif it looks like you could have opened up to f/1.4, that might have helped. The background is often the enemy in street stuff.Great shot all the same. I like to see more of this stuff.

Thanks for the comments guys
Yeah the third man is a little distracting. To be honest I didnt even see him when I took the shot I was just concentraiting on getting the conversation at the right point. Don’t think there is much I can do about him now.
You are right Martin yeah I shot at f3.5 and I could have gone to f1.4, it is pretty hard to hit the focus point with that shallow a DOF mind doing street!
I’ll just have to work out some artistic reason for the inclusion of the 3rd man :)
The third man is not necessarily as distracting as indicated. The guy to the left seems to be pointing in his direction and the image as a whole has a nice triangle formation as a result. He adds a nice third dimension and trying to visualize these two without that guy in the background would flatten the image a little. Just my humble opinion…

Agree with Alan, it does appear that the seated character is actually trying to surreptitiously indicate the man in the shop to the standing gentleman. Perhaps there’s a deeper conspiracy here ?
Either way, it’s a great shot ! With great compositional elements (need to be careful here that I don’t end up sounding like I know what I’m talking about :p )
