Very nice dual portrait, if they are sisters they are not in the same mood, one smiling and the other so serious... Lovely colours and great expressions, I like this a lot !

Best regards,
Cath.

Hello Steve,
I don't see much of the fish, but who cares. I like their vivid expressions, one smiling cheerfully, the other looking more apprehensively at you. Excellent colours.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hi Steve.
A very striking double portrait in the most vivid colour. I like the two quite different expressions on their faces, and the very slight blurring on the left one, as she moves her head and smiles. The shallow DOF is great. I still can't believe the quality of these scans.
Regards,
Andrew

Ho Steve

The colors are so nice and warm and the smile makes the composition even warmer. There is a uniqueness about the one sister smiling and the other in a more serious pose, the one smiling wants to sell more smiles then fish perhaps, and the one with the serious expression (she looks older too), seems like she does'nt care how much she sells. The older one has sandoor in her hair, probably she is married and that may be a reason for her seriousness while the younger one lacks the sindoor, maybe she is still unmarried, thus her bubbly smile.

They are both wearing gold jewellery so looks like they are both doing well. Thats all for my commentary :)

Excellent shot overall

Regards
Kamran
