Taken earlier this year at Nathan Phillip's Square in front of our New city Hall here in downtown Toronto.
There is an elevated, covered stage in the square and as I passed it I noticed a couple standing on the steps engaged in an intense and animated conversation. Sensing an opportunity, I watched them through the camera and when their expressions seemed right, grabbed this shot.
Converted to black and white in Photoshop.

I shoot with film. That's film. F...i...l...m. You remember film. It was in all the papers.
No it didn't come in paper it came in aluminum cans with screw on caps!

This is quite a moment you managed to freeze

She's not buying any of it. She's leaning back with arms crossed. It quite amusing.

"How do I give this wanker the slip....."
Nice catch, Robert.

great moment in time captured, I like images that make me think, this image does just that "what story is he spinning?" "what's their relationship?" "what happened next?"
bravo

I asked a cousin, "If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman there to hear him is he still wrong?" Notice that the lady's eyebrow is raised. I'll bet they know each other well.

David, Armando, Mike, Averity,
Thank you all for the comments.
I too wondered about their relationship and their conversation as I watched them.
Perhaps her look was nothing more than her dread that he was going to notice that she had farted.
Who knows?

I've recently been hearing the word "mansplaining," (example, a man at a cocktail explains the importance of a book he's never read to the woman who, it turns out, wrote it) and this kind of reminds me of that.

Great timing, Robert.

Mathew / John,
Thanks for commenting.

You captured the interestingly contrasting body language, Robert. I wonder if he is cheerful or angry (maybe the latter, judging from her folded arms)?
