I love the mood. and the fun of watching images develop on dial up. for those of you on broad band you miss the suspense of wondering what comes next. This image was especially fun because the walking men had there hands behind their backs as though skating:) love it.

You got the focus just right IMO Always tough to tackle a genius..............the only nit is I wish that darn light to the left was complete. A really curious and calming image.

I love this one Frank, and I think HCB would also. In the recent interview with Charlie Rose, HCB did not like to be drawn on commenting on his captures. I think preferring them to do the taking?

excellent title also. thanks heaps for this gem. Adrian

Very interesting shot in many ways, Frank: The depth of the scene, the good balance of lights and darks, this style on walking like geese of old people, and this curious use of many old friends that walks together, but separately. Great photo. endika

Thanks Brent & Shirley. I don't know that I knew it was great but I just turned round and saw that everything was in perfect equilibrium - no need to crop etc. So I just shot it.

"it was just there so I shoot it, click!" That was a close quote of HCB's. I watched that interview of his that someone posted and I loved the man as much as his work. He was humble and honest. I don't know if you saw this was great before or after you shot it, but you got a great shot here. Starting with their simular stance all the way down to the detail in their surroundings. The lighting is very nice too. All around a very great photograph.

Almost like they are skating. Wonderful shot of 2 men and 2 men and the varieties of relationships. Really wonderful Fank.
