Photographer's Note
About this picture: Jerusalem, besides being Israel's capital, has the highest poverty rate among its population, about 805,000 in late 2011 statistic's. Also the most religious percentage of its residents, which divided between Christianes, Moslims, and Jews, that has many different sects from Ultra-Orthodox to just plain religious people, and seculars.
One can't overlook this when visiting this city.
Admittedly, the photo lost a bit of sharpness, as I had taken a swift action to catch the moment.
Location on Jaffa Street: 31.7882, 35.2062 , same façade of of this building. The red small sign says "Danger !" as the building is abandoned already.

Cher Ike,
C’est bien de voir des gens se parler. Ce siècle nouveau semble vouloir nous enfermer dans un monde du silence (médias généralisés).
Les magasins appelés à la destruction sont les témoins du passé, une page d’histoire que l’on arrache.
Une très bonne photo.
Amitiés.

Hello Ike,
Two different cultures on the same picture.
Maybe three or four with the modern grafitti together.
Not easy for to life in a big city with all the cultures.
The colours make your picture attractive.
Composition and presentation are pleasant.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hello Ike,
Great picture of daily life in Jerusalem. And a good accompanying note too.
These situations ask for a quick reaction and a little loss of quality (I didn’t notice it) is not a problem.
Have a nice weekend. Groet Rob

Hi Ike,
The city is a melting pot of races and religions. The moment of the two very different women passing by the graffity was well captured.

Hello Ike,
I don't see any problems with lack of sharpness. If I could wish for anything it would have been that you had snapped half of a second earlier, so they had been slightly more apart. But who am I really to ask for such perfection? You did very well to observe and capture this meeting in front of the colourful graffiti. It's an urban scene very much to my liking.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Ike,
You have captured well the action of the women and of their different clothing. The point of view is showing the details of the graffitis. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,
An excellent impression of daily life with this encounter between the two women. The slight blur works very well here I think, especially the background is perfectly sharp. The graffiti on the closed shutters make a fine background.

Bonjour Ike,
Il y a beaucoup de trafic sur le trottoir. C'est un beau moment où les deux dames se croisent juste au bon endroit devant le graffiti.La lumière est belle.
Bon samedi

Olá Ike,
realmente um contraste religioso muito forte em Jerusalém, quanto a foto, gosto desse tipo, fugindo um pouco do tradicional cartão postal. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço,

Hello Ike,
It looks sharp enough to me. The text of the wall posters is near perfect. Just a little motion blur of the 2 passing women. And the wheels of the shopping trolley. Well framed and composed. Tfs!

Hello Ike,
This is definitely not very artistic graffiti on the walls and the gates but with both women in front of it you've captured an attractive street scene.
The yellow arrow on the left seems to point to the women.
I knew of course about the different religions in Jerusalem but not that your capital has the highest poverty rate in your country. On the other hand, the capital of Belgium is also the poorest city in the country.
Best regards, Paul

There is a lot of traffic on the sidewalk. It's a beautiful time when the two ladies cross just the right place before the graffiti.La light is beautiful.

hello Ike, I think that you have only a second to make click in your camera, so the picture is a bit unshap, but not important, you caught an interesting scene. It seems a very poor area.

Hello Ike,
I'm glad you managed to capture the scene, the elder lady has a nice smile and she is very well placed. She makes the whole scene significant and I like how the light enhances her presence too. I wonder what the mysterious urban background could mean to the ladies, if they ever notice its details and changes. Light, colours and shadows are great. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hello Ike,
This moment had to be captured quickly, not just as the ladies were meeting but before they spotted you and broke the spell!
The differences in religion may not be obvious but the differences in clothing are, as are the carrying methods!
A fine shot from the streets of Jerusalem.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Ike, the sharpness is acceptable. The wall covered with grafittis forms an original background. I like seeing the passersby in their daily lives. The two women are going to shops. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi Ike,
It is not easy to capture people in the street in an interesting pose while they are moving. Here you have chosen a nice colorful graffiti as a background for the meeting of the two ladies. It is of course accidental meeting because they are on the move.
Nice traditional clothes,
M
