These guys look like they work for the "Prince in the Crowd". Excellent lighting captures the rugged features. Great photo. Barri

Nice contrast between subjects.. Well done!

bold composition - reminds me of a famous W. Eugene Smith shot of two (or three?) Spanish policemen

Like Mark said, I wouldn't want to make these fellas mad. They remind me of the New York City mafia characters. Great light play especially on the men's faces.

Ditto to what they said below. I had to laugh at the title.

The perspective you used is intersting, your use of light is wonderful. They say you're protecting or hiding something when you have your hands in your pockets.

Has feel of ageing mafiosi. Very nice indeed.

Great top lighting to accentuate the shadows. Very interesting pose and composition.

LOL. reminds me of the hollywood movie - though the title seems to evade me currently. :)

Guest		08-May-2005 07:44
hehehe they do seem like an odd couple

jude		08-May-2005 05:11
fantastic faces.

Gary Winters		08-May-2005 03:54
Ha! Look at those expressions! Great moment captured!

Guest		08-May-2005 03:26
don't seem odd to me, they are nicely matched 8). i like how you cropped it - tight.

Great picture!, well done Antonis... Josy

I like the perspective and their expressions.

I like the contrast, very nice accomplished that light game. I love that their stance is nearly the same and yet it is like black and white the difference in the way they appear.

Ahaaa... I remember that guy reading a book in the sunshine close to another man like a couple. He never goes alone... Nice angle Antonis.

You have played the light game well, Antonis.

Perfect contrast and tones.

Magnificent shot

Guest		07-May-2005 21:05
I wouldn't want to get the wrong side of these guys!

another very interesting image of yours. They are strange indeed, like chess: a black knight threatened without being aware of it by a white roock. Awesome sculptural light. Bravo! Lorin
