Very nice portrait. Too bad about the lighting.

Like the picture but the focus is set to the pictures on the wall causing the heads of both subjects to be a bit fuzzy.

A different interpretation of the challenge. A Nice creative idea witha pretty powerful message. Good composition. The lighting could be better. I'd like to see more light on the subjects faces.

Had a nice chuckle with your picture. LOVE the way you composed it with the two pictures on the wall, each with a small corner behind one of the two men. I wish the man on th left were better lit on his face (perhaps with something bounced?). If this was posed, nice job. If it's a candid, Way To Go!

this is such great imagery. Technically photo is a little dark on left bottom & slightly blurred, but nicely cropped.

Interesting shot. B&W might had helped the mood of this shot, focusing more interest on the 2 figures instead of the surrounding colors. Just my opinion. I like that the framed photos of seemlingly silent/deserted streets in the background mimic the silence between the 2 men. Nice. :)

Excellent representation of the theme.
Visually, suffers from lighting and colour balance - could do with more even lighting over walls, softer, to reduce shine on heads, and less orangey.
Also, because of low viewpoint you have a bit of a parallax thing going on which the lines of the frames really emphasise.
I do like the two pictures on the wall - they kind of echo the two men beneath.

That is great. Very well done. If anything, maybe lighten up on the red a bit.

Would have been cool if better focused and some of the orange color cast removed.

engaging pairs - lighting could be used better (less orange and less flat)

I would have guessed that they were brothers! Either way, silence conveyed!

good composition but this image cries out for fill flash, or somehing to light their faces.
