Hi Wolfgang,
frankly speaking, I see only these two aged people!
Strangely, this photo immediately reminded me of Bergman's last movie "De två saliga" ("Two blessed people"). Very vague association, but nevertheless.... It's rather a rare movie but who knows, maybe you have seen it.

I also hear other voices: did you ask for their permission to take a photo and publish it? :)
Oh the human race....
Excellent capture of the moment!
Best regards,
Elena
PS. Yes, the photo could be cropped "here" and "there" :)

Hello Wolfgang,
A fine snapshot picturing daily life and captured just at the right moment as the lady is turned towards the man. Everything is as it should be including the matching eye patches!

Hallo Wolfgang,

gelungener Schnappschuss würde ich dazu sagen und die Frage nach dem Beschnitt ist eher ein müßige Angelegenheit.. man könnte , muß aber nicht immer dazu neigen alles zu perfektionieren; auch ich neige für mich persönlich eher zum authentischen Stil, weil das Leben nun mal so ist, wie es ist..

viele Grüße Bernd

Hallo Wolfgang,
ein 'daily life' Foto und doch nicht so alltäglich,
du hast ja ein Auge für solche Motive,
Viele Grüße,
Dimitris.

Dear Wolfgang

You could call your picture also the odd couple. Both seem to have lost one eye. It's a nice action shot, well framed and executed with great DOF. What the two have to tell each other? That will remain their secret, I guess. Good job.

Best regards
Urs

Hello Wolfgang,

This is an extraordinary scene, with two persons wearing eye patches... over the same eye!
I don't know the probability for this to happen, but most unlikely I guess...
Well seen, well framed!

Greetings,

The subject is so strong, Wolfgang. I forget to look at the others details...

Bravo friend, your action is of the real photographer.

Friendly

Hi Schanze
Excellent shot! Made for each other couldn't get any better. How on Earth do they both have a problem on the right eye...!
Nice to see stills like this in hustling place. It almost looks like its straight out a Movie...

Cheers, Blue
