Ed, I really love this image. It looks like it could be a 1960's ad for a coffee product. I like how you've framed it and I like the pocket book in the middle of the table, the cut off ad slogan, which makes the viewer fill in the missing words, I like the intensity of the woman's faces, the earing on the woman on the right, and, in a little more of a quirky reaction, I love the way the woman on the right is holding her coffee - very unique way to hold it. This photo works for me on so many levels. Really nice capture!   Posted: 04/08/2026 22:45:02

Hi Ed, I love the image, too. I think that it is a very fine street photo that captures an intimate moment with gentle humor. I think that everything works together: the intensive contact between the two ladies, the poster on the wall, the coffee mug and the purse on the table, all in a balanced composition. Like Robert says, the image works in so many levels.   Posted: 04/12/2026 20:37:16

Nice capture of a precise moment of people interacting which tells a story.   Posted: 04/13/2026 00:15:34

The composition is perfect. The gentle curves of the women's backs reinforces he intensity of their versification. The straight lines don't distract, but give some dynamism to the scene. The contrast is pleasing and keeps the viewers' attention on the subjects. The cup of coffee held just in front to the mouth is the decisive moment perfected by Cartier-Bresson-- a master of strteet photographyu   Posted: 04/13/2026 19:23:21
