This shot misfired to where the background was sharp and the two original subjects became blurred. Looked like the driver of the car was observing them and it reminded me of the Coppola film. It's a HUGE crop!

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.

The face of that driver kills me. This sure does make me wonder what is going on.

This just isn't coming together for me as a good street photograph. The ladies appear to be engaged in nothing more than idle gossip, which would be fine if they were more in focus. And the man is positioned as if to be creepy, but he just doesn't look that creepy. Also the quality suffers -- I see noise reduction artifacts in the Lady Right's jacket.

That said, I thank you for not showing me anyone's backside -- or someone merely walking by. In that sense, it's better than half of the street photography I see on the web. Not that I'm any expert. Far from it.

Great capture and very nice processing. Wouldn't be surprised to see this get a posthumous ribbon.

good use of dof and a good candid capture, too. it's almost like we see the conversation through his eyes (and like him, we are deaf to what is being said)

I love the way my eye moves back and forth on this. Then I wonder and imagine what's going on. Very intriguing and worthy of a PH award. 9

I am right there - while the guy in the car is obviously not part of "the conversation" he is an integral part of the photo. Nicely framed - i like it. 8

Nice street shot. I love the grain. All that guy needs is some popcorn to watch the show.

Disturbing that the title relates to the foreground when you chose with the picture to focus on the background...

Great job. Looks like the driver of the car is very interested in the discussion without actually hearing them. I'm happy you did in b/w. 7
