Shooting photographers in the back is an act of cowardice though ;)

Perfect composition and timing Les! Even though, at the time that painting was made, the ladies on the bench would have been excluded of taking part in the depicted meeting, they now visually close the circle left unfinished by the painter.

Thank you - but to my eye there is a compositional flaw: the ladies on the left are all dark and those on the right are all light, and it would be better to mix the light and dark ladies, or, better still have them all dark.

Great! Made me smile. That pose, poshy right pinky spread  ;D. Background rendering and structure is marvealous and so is the framing.

Good one, Bill!  The back side of this bird is worth examination.

::) ::)  Strange indeed Keith.  Great shot!

I am at a loss for words to describe what I see in the picture  ;D In this case, a picture is surely worth a few thousand words....

Bill, we would describe them down here in Australia as "Bogans".  LOL.

Thanks Hugh, 

I just looked "Bogan" up and it sounds appropriate!

At least it is safe to assume these two do not have anything criminal in mind. They would be in serious trouble if they would have to leg it
