What Are You Looking At?

The third shot of the people’s week running here.

The third shot of the people’s week running here.

Yesterday, I decided to post only people photos here for the next one week. So today’s photo is the second in the series, yesterday’s being the first.
This photo is quite old, shot a couple of years back and scanned recently. Three other photos in the same series were posted before on visual obscurity at the beginning of this year. You can find them here, here and here.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
-Eurythmics

April 2006, Kahlenberg, Vienna, Austria.

I spent a delightful weekend in the company of two wonderful friends. Good food, wine, films, walking and through it all as a constant; lovely conversation, this photo being one such moment caught in time. What more can anyone ask for? Thank you Smita and Sascha!
Coming to the shot, due to incorrect metering on my part the photo was quite underexposed but I managed to rescue it in PS. Or so I hope. As always would love to know your thoughts and reactions.

Hey Andy, did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey baby, are you having fun?
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there’s nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool

Open your eyes, your nose and inhale. Inhale the freshness and beauty of light raining down from heaven.

There are certain photos that only reveal their secrets long after they have been shot. This is one of them. When I took the shot it was because I liked the refelctive faces of the boy and girl. But it was only now when I looked once at the photo before I posted it that something else struck me. Can you tell me what it is I’m refering to? It is not that difficult I think. You just need to look at the photo for a few seconds and you should get it!

I’m happy that at last I captured some autumnal colors this year (sorry for the big file size though).
