Chinese Whispers, a photo from Beijing, North

Photographer's Note

While the younger members of the family are busy sightseeing, these two woman relax and catch us with the gossip. It seems they are more impressed with the tales they tell than the splendours of the Forbidden City.

Hi Elaine, I like the naturalness between these 2 ladies; I somehow sense that they are not familiar with each other, but there is a new growing complicity between them. Their chit-chat is set against that beautiful, gorgeous red background. I think I would have enjoyed the background with a slight blur, giving us more focus on the ladies. Lovely capture which shows once ever more your great sensibility towards your subjects. Great title too! Sabine

A lovely shot, Elaine, seriously underestimated in my opinikon.That dominant red,the relaed pose of these two eternal talkers - a quintessential Chinese scene. You KNOW these two do thei Tai Chi every morning like their coleagues in that other city, Hanoi.
Nice one, elaine.
All the best,
Francis
