A candid capture that meets the challenge well.

You have captured a moment that most of us nosy people have been intrigued by at some point in our shared curiosity of people watching. The essence of your image is the mystery of the moment, as you say, are they arguing or loving? It is this very uncertainty that makes your image so appealing we can only see his face which gives nothing away except intensity of emotion. The ladies stance could be either defensive or flirting, it looks as though she may be smiling but we can't be sure and so the mystery, fortunately, remains.

Although you have done some correction to straighten it out it still feels in need of further straightening it leans a little to the right. The scene as a whole is quite distracting but the main moment is so intense and captivating it overpowers any other distractions. Having said that, I think the notice above the doorway would benefit from some dodging to subdue it.

Well observed and captured, Sid

An appealing image that meets the challenge well.

The lovely soft focus and pastel shades work really well together here to produce an image that has an air of mystery about it. Your composition adds impact to the end result together with the subtle shift in tones from the dark base to the lighter top makes a great end result.

There's nothing I would alter here it is a lovely end result that has been well appreciated by your commenters with whom I concur, Sid.

First impressions, I like the abstract nature but I don't think it fulfils the challenge very well

Your title is crucial in guiding us as to what we are actually looking at, the image is so abstract it rather defies definition. The colours and tones are very pleasing and I like the soft focus. The image is so basic I am rather floundering in what I can constructively say about it that will help except that I do find it quite a pleasing image, sorry Sid.

Portrait or not, it's such a refreshing antidote to everything else here, I must give it a ten.
