Thank you for your comments. Barry, they are tourist simply because they aren't Spanish ;o) Brent, me too I do prefer the Kleivis' balloon buyer... Maybe even the most pleasant trip has its bad moments... In any case, I can assure you they were in this mood before this crazy Spaniard met them :oD endika

It is worth it to switch between this picture and "I just bought my first balloon by Kleivis". There is an inner clarity I think I should be striving for (first balloon). Unfortunately I often end up here. Even the figure in the upper left seems somewhat taken aback (the angels gasp :-) For me, a picture with a moral. Of course another interpretation is that they are trapped by the local crazy Spaniard taking their picture after they have been lost and trying to find their way back to the hotel after 4 hours (LOL!) brent

Great shot, endika, & if you had asked for them to pose, I don't think it could have been any better. But what makes you think they are tourists? It seems a bit odd for them to have their dog along with them.Of course thatr's maybe why they look so grumpy Barry

Excellent! Frank

This is just brilliant! Really like everything about this one.

Thank you for your comments. Shirley, I guess they were husband and wife, so your theory about married people must be right :oD Richard: This is a very popular shopping street downtown, so I think they were waiting for some other people of their group. They weren't enjoying the moment anyway. endika

what an unusual trio their expression exudes painful boredom. I wonder where they are and why don't they appear happier. then I wonder did you staged this? in any case I like that it makes me think. Catman

What a great shot! Oh how I love this one. At first glance I thought they were a couple (wife & husband) and maybe they are but, they look so simular that I was soon convinced they are brother and sister instead. You know though, they say married people soon start to look the same too. Even the dog has the same appearance. The exposure and lighting is wonderful!
