Hi Ken,
The compo is quite good here. I like that man looking at the 3 women..Everything looks well located and well framed.
Nice colors.
Alex

Great compo, well balanced and a story to think about.

Thanks
An

Hi Ken,
A nice compostion with an appropiate title, with the three women and their richly decorated and colourful garments against the brown-white background/wall of the house. The man in the doorway on the left is balancing the composition well. Well done!

Regards

Hi Ken,
The man could ask himself different things......it's up to us how we fill that in. I like this kind of photography very much..
Good work..!!
Regards, Henk

There is some intresting tension in this scene, Ken. I like the mood and feel of this. I do like the colors, but b/w might emphasize the people more, and their actions and thoughts. Maybe. I like this a lot.

Ken bonjour - superb compo with nice position of people - I like your title for the man who stands at the hotel entry (sorry for my english)The tones are soft and the technical quality great

Hi Ken. The softness of the scan and the slight grain in this adds a nice feel to the image - sort of makes it look like it was taken 20 years ago (oops, I've just noticed the date it was taken, and it IS nearly 20 years old). So you knew something about what makes a good composition all those years ago! Cheers . . . David
