Nice entry for this contest, well suited to the black and white because of their attire.
You have captured two different expressions , the man appears to be ready to sneeze.
Well focused, nice clear image with perfect exposure , I see nice tonal variations .
Well composed and presented!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very good view of that pair of bored looking people. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Way West
This is a really nice human documentary shot. The looks on their faces are priceless! I like the details and I really like is how the shade is over the woman's face from her hat and all we can really see is how unhappy she is by the way she is holding her mouth. Nicely detailed and well framed. A great entry to the contest, best wishes!

This is a wonderful visual presented here of these two people dressed in the olden days. Their expressions on their face is priceless. I love that you use black-and-white to highlight them. Excellent addition to the contest. A winner in my books.!

Comment from Kathy Banich
An excellent candid shot of these two performers and very fitting for the contest. Good for You! The BW presentation is highly effective and eliminates any color distractions from the scene, while still offering loads of interest, textures and details throughout. The fact that both performers have such fun expressions on their face is a double whammy.

This image is very sharp and utilizes a deep dof to retain clarity on both subjects. Exposure is seemingly perfect and retains details in both darks and light elements of the scene. The tight frame is adequate and further keeps the viewers eye focused on the story / activity within the photograph.

A very good entry for the contest - Good Luck.
