Simple but delightful.
Anybody who thinks the West is Best should see the scowls on the faces of hair salon customers (and see the prices)- this scene looks so relaxed and happy.
Thanks for sharing

Beauty picture. I do love the warmth of colours and tender look of both girls' faces. A marvel. As I'd liked to see if one can improve composition here I did a little WS.

dobre zdjecie - piękne kolory. tylko czemu kompozycja jest taka centralna?
troche to psuje efekt.

I have NO criticism of this image, which I think is terrific in every respect. I did want to address others whose criticism and workshop suggested off-centering the subjects, however.

Reading the photographer's response to one critique reveals this was an impromptu shot, making it true photojournalism. Because of this, the "rules" can be relaxed, especially the rule which mandates mandatory off-centering-the-main-subject rule (and I am being deliberately redundant about this statement).

The important aspect of having these women front-and-center in this image is the essential CONTEXT provided by all of the background taken together. The recessed doorway, the stoop, the angularity and scope of the walls, and, the coloration of the whole scene. None of that could have been cropped without detracting from the editorial value of this scene.

One workshop shows the image cropped in full faithfulness to that rigid-rule-requiring-offsetting-the-subject-from-the-center rule (deliberately redundant statement). Take a look at the result: the aspect ratio of the image is so out-of-wack that the whole "look and feel", the whole sense of place and the relaxed mood of the original have been cropped away and thrown on the virtual digital editing floor. Nah, that was a poor crop, causing a much bigger problem only to satisfy some Photography 101 basic "RULE".

Beautiful color tone in the picture. They're all get along so well accept a little cream box in green but luckily this box is so tiny and it doesn't disturb picture much. I love this pic a lot. Congratulations !!!

Alex,

The photo is well-framed, with the door edging the top and the womems feet defining the bottom. Maybe a little more color tweaking would pull out the warmth. Overall, a warm freindly picture.
