So much character, so much expression, I love it! The man in the centre of the image looks totally peeved. I wonder what she had done? LOL

Composition is great, drawing attention to the man in the centre. The depth of field is perfect to isolate the main characters from a busy background.

Very funny! Title is appropriate. It could also be under humorous category. I like the way you captured the play of lights and shadows on them. It enhances their smart and sharp way of dressing - each different flair and style too! The focus is wonderful too ... Minor point: perhaps crop more on top and left to really focus on them.

And I guess the wives were somewhere else bitching about them! A fine group portrait, that backlight is not the easiest to handle. I would crop a little on the left to loose the yellow pole.

You know what ? We have the same guys, here in France ;-)
This is a very good snapshot. You captured funny expressions and the group is valorized by this good DOF. Good work !

Great capture - like birds on a highwire. Maybe just a little short on color, but perhaps that's the way it was.
