[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Shops line the old Plaka area of Athens. Shopkeepers wait on the alleyways for passing tourists or shoppers and encourage them to visit their stores. Here I found these two during a somewhat slow evening, talking to each other to spend the time.

hi Animash..
do they call you in in all the languages of the world too ? they do that here..:)
nice composition and daily (bored) atmosphere of the shopkeepers in touristic areas...they avoided looking at you but they are very aware of you :)
very good dof blurring all the tourists and rest of the street..
all the best

Nice photo, good composition.

Animesh, I'm putting you on one of my lists so that I don't miss any more of this great work of yours. This is a nice scene with the two men facing away from each other but facing each other. The diagonal of the chairs across the frame does a good job of leading our eyes. Well done man!

Very interesting scene! Their opposite and crossed position is very curious and makes a good image. Also think that your diagonal framing is great as it creates dynamic and add a good sense of depth. Still I think that the image could have been stronger if they were not so centered. Getting nearer to place them near the bottom left would have worked out, or pointing a bit down to explore that grid in the pavement (my favorite option) would also be good. But it’s a nice photo anyway.

Hello Animesh,
Thankyou so much for your interest and visit!
You have an excellent gallery here with a lot of superb shots of people. This is one is a rare gem, a very amusing and original view that you have spotted and composed in an excellent fashion. The expressions on the men's faces are excellent. Your pov has made an appealing diagonal of the chairs leading down the alley. Excellent work!
Thanks for sharing and best wishes,
Chris
