[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sometimes it is embarrassing to be seduced by a look of a woman (in this case two women) especially when the attitude is aggressive. My only defense: “Sorry I’m married”.

Taken during the week of fashion in Milan (yes, we lucky!)

A picture for fall scav hun: a person with a fierce attitude.

Great hunt entry, the amazing thing about this is the way the both have practically the same expression. Is this a look that the Milanese cultivate :-)

Remeber the old joke about having one hand on the stove and one in iced water but as an average doing fine? I just came to think about it when I see these warm shoes in the climate of Milano. The legs must be long and naked to compensate for that.

Well, I'm not! (married). :-))

I think they are trying to decide wheather to date you or kick you..... by the look on their faces the latter may be on their minds.

This is a funny photo, from the womens very similar attire, to their identical facial expressoins and sunglasses.

I think the women are obviously looking down at not only the photographer, but everyone. I hate people with this attitude, especially the ones who think they are better than everyone else just because they have fallen victim to the latest fashion trends. i.e. those awful boots!

Haha, I don't know about seduction here, I think you're lucky to be alive. It's probably their sunglasses that saved you from being burned. Ideal subject for a photograph, I suspect the two might be making a living from being photographed. It is admirable that you remained cool enough in front of this view and managed to also get a very decent composition. Very high impact image, just look at the views counter.

On second thought, don't spare me... Humorous almost ad nauseam. But still sharp dressers.

211 views so far - boys will be boys, eh, and always click on photos of what looks like pretty girls. But you deserve the full smiley for daring to take - and post - this. But of course it also makes a good scav hunt entry. Congratulations.

Very good Zanni. I like this very 'Milanese' shot of the two girls. And the detail of two frieds dressing more or less alike. Look to their boots. Excactly the same just some colour differences. Excellent street shot

poooh!!!
some attitude Gae :))
and what a huge sunglasses!!! is that the fashion?? my god.... ofcourse the skirts and tight shirts should be fashion every time of the year cold or not but that only my humble opinion...

good shot!!!

Ma che bella moda, ma che bella donne

Je trouve l'image très belle les jeunes femmes aussi mais par contre je trouve dommage les pieds coupés sur le cliché. Amicalement/jr

Potrei stare a disquisire millenni sulla buona tecnica di esecuzione, sull'ottima illuminazione dei soggetti, (hai usato un colpo di flash?) ecc. ecc. ma direi che le protagoniste sono interessantissime!! (secondo me sono mamma e figlia...)

If there were realt mad, they could give you one on the head from both side with tere handbags:-)))))

I do think I would have look to:-))
