    Yes, good focus and plenty of subject detail while the background is not distracting.

    I love this! The B&W works well. The lines on the leaning mans face tell of many stories and adventures.
    However, if I had one critique, I would have preferred to just see him, not the other gentleman.

    Thanks for posting.

    A fine street photo Antonio, I like the sepia tone.

    Two subjects in a photo - always difficult to pull off as the eye tends to go back and forth between the two. This works for me though as they are quite close together and sort of merge into one.

    Very nice image with an intriguing title. It implies a conversation between the two, which adds interest.

    Thank you all for the nice comments.

    This image is a few years old and was actually taken on the corner of a building where the person on the left was standing while the other was walking by and stopped to chat.
    They are people whose ages are not too far apart and who may have worked together, which would not surprise me.

    This type of image is, I think, a street image that is sometimes relatively difficult to achieve, especially at a time when there is a general trend for people to create difficulties for the photographer wherever they go.
    This image could be part of a larger set that I have that shows photographs that are taken, let's say, with some luck.
    But luck doesn't happen by chance, luck happens when you're given an opportunity, or you create the opportunities for it to happen.
    Of course, you need to have your camera in your hand and use it in a discreet way, but I don't really have a lot of experience in this area.
    It has happened in these photographs that I call lucky that sometimes, they unfold in the middle of the time and space during which I was photographing the scene from different angles and perspectives.

    Just a quick word about the black and white, which is actually a soft sepia tone that gives it a certain, let's say, "antiquity", charme if I may use that term...

    Maybe it's time to pick up the camera more and try to do something relevant and interesting.
