well, to me it has quite a bit of a story, or a commentary on human relationships... their backs do say a lot. look at his confident posture and the way he rests his heavy hands on their shoulders... look at their tentative and non-obtrusive hands hugging his torso but not touching each other... he is probably an older guy (look at his balding head) and sort of a "mentor" for these two younger girls who are best friends from high school and cannot quite decide among themselveswho gets this guy. Or they wait for him to decide but he is quite content with the current arrangement :). I may be imagining things but it does not really matter as long as the image allows me to imagine things...

you made a beautiful (almost) painting out of a dull original which most of us would not bother to keep. Good job Robert, and a well deserved HM!

yes this is the one. Great shot! Great toning, too! is there some blue color in the sky on the left or it is my imagination? If yes, I would get rid of it. I also see traces of overshaprening around masts against the sky on the right. Maybe you can bring it down a notch there.
