Taken outside my job on the first real nice day of Spring. So many people came out to enjoy the weather. Tried to crop down to bring the focus on these two women, without losing the feel of their quiet spot across the street from a more bustling environment. Still not sure if I should have left the tree on the right or if it's more distracting.

I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.
Unfortunately, this is just pretty boring. A couple of girls having lunch. No real emotion, no real pop. It's a 3 for me.
