A: Everything about this one works - nice bokeh and DOF - of course, classic interaction with friends. c

Hi Andreas

The first girl is so expressive, with her frank smile and exultation written on her face, that she would deserve to be lonely on the frame. And in a way, that's what happens; She completely steals the attention, to the detriment of the pretty girl in her back. I love the warm tones that sustain her smile, the glorious bokeh that enhances the joy irradiating from her face. Congratulations, Andreas.

PS :
I understand so well your will...

Bonsoir andreas,

Un grand sourire, sa nous fait plaisir.
L'expression qui se lit sur son visage est magnifique.
Les couleurs sont belles et la luminosité rayonnante.
Bravo, un composition très réussie.

Amitiés
Patrick

Hi Andreas,

I like the double expressions and the use of a wide aperture that creates a great depth with 3 distinct layers.

Good communication with your main subject, a trust and friendly exchange that lead to this natural smile.

Full of sun.

Hallo Leo,

ein sehr schönes Bild, das die Freundlichkeit der Menschen dort drüben sehr gut zum Ausdruck bringt..ein Bild, das einmal mehr bestätigt, dass dort scheinbar die Uhren etwas anders ticken..

viele Grüße Bernd

Hi, Leo. A very good composition with the two women next to each other. I like the good colour contrasts between their clothes and the difference in their expression. They stand out very well against the background. A very good double portrait.
Have a nice evening,
Philippe

Leo
Superbe sourire sur cette jeune fille en premier plan qui semble "faire de l'ombre" à celle de l'arrière plan qui parait plus discrète. Belle composition. Une photo de grande qualité
Amicalement

Hi Leo,
Well composed shot with one woman in focus and another one slightly blurred against more blurry warm toned background. Smiles are indeed lovely and those hats add touch of local fashion.

Yes,
How can one resist such a smile. It is brighter and more beautiful than the golden light around her. Such a moment. I want to go too.
