The BG color really helps to set off the expressions and add a royal look to the turbans but the woman's off-centered profile/glance makes this shot. Penny Street

Very nice, fine expressions and interesting faces. -Michael

Thanks Tom. I'm sure you'll have some knockout shots. I changed the title of this image, by the way. The original (First Again) was intended to be a slightly self mocking reference to my tendency to post in a bit of a rush, but it occurred to me that it might sound like I was congratulating myself. Regards, Michael

Really nice work Michael. The profile of the woman is especially striking. Coincidentally, I was at the "Big-E" Fair in Massachusettes, USA, where all the New England states participate. I haven't been able to see my shots yet but I know already none can compete with this beauty. -tv

Looks great!

Thanks for the suggestion Bruce. I have made the change.
The occasion was the Royal Melbourne Show. It includes competitions for various breeds of livestock, dogs, cats etc. There are also many rides, games, food vendors and lots of noise. This little group were watching one of those rides where people pay $5 to be subjected to multi-g acceleration:) Regards, Michael

Very nice! What's the occasion? The detail in the guy's beard is striking. I might crop/clone out the bit of color and busyness in the extreme left of the frame.
