    Young couple - enjoying a view of Niagara Falls

    I'm trying to hone my street photography skills with the GX7.

    This young couple was sitting at the barrier wall near the falls. I suspect that (based on the dress and lack of beard) that they are Mennonites. Not the traditional ones that shun the modern world which means they travel around in horse and buggy and have no electricity to their homes. There is a middle group that embraces some modernity, but still favour some more traditional dress.

    I like the composition Manfred I think you are still not with your proper computer, the image seems to need PP. May be some more contrast and reducing highlights (girl's cap and the walls are too bright), just my poor opinion.

    Correct - I'm on a laptop with a mouse that is not working properly.

    They don't seem to be enjoying it too much. Nice image regardless.

    That is an interesting composition, Manfred, with each subject facing a different direction. I assume the view of the falls is to the right of frame, yet both of them seem to be more interested in something to the left of frame (the direction their bodies are facing) and that makes me wonder if you have cropped something off there.
