I think this is so interesting - keeps me guessing as to what is really going on between these two people - are they sad? mad? worried? or just plain bored?

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Probably the most significant title of any image I've commented on in this series. The degree to which you have communicated with the viewer is in stark contrast with the communication exhibited by the couple. This is an image which is more about story and journalism than it is about technique and art and in that context this is a great image.

Critical stuff: Not too much, given the context of the image

Overall: A fine photojournalistic image with a great metaphoric title.

Like the dramatic statement of the foreground tree. My eye goes up and down looking for a place to stop.
