Unfortunately, I could not get a direct shot at them as a huge Norfolk pine was in the way but I managed this cropped shot.

On my way home this afternoon, I was driving along the Oceanfront at Manly and noticed these two guys reading - back to back - and I thought hmmm...might make a good snap!

Sheila,
I'm not B&W fan, but I do like the perspective of the shot. Perhaps, they're on their periodic detention coz they were naughty lately:lol:  Birddog114

Sheila,
Lovely shot. As already stated the symetry in this image is well captured. Keep them coming 
How did the colour version look? I was driving past South Curly today and desperately wanted to get out and go for a shoot, the looming clouds and atmosphere were very tempting but I did not have time to get out and stop!! Geoff

Oh, Geoff, you have to always find the time! I am often late for work because I cannot let a good shot pass! For this shot, I doubled back as I felt it would make a good image. In the past, I have rued the day when I did not go back but now I stop my car (or get my husband to stop). Bless him, he is always accommodating. In NZ, we were stopping every five minutes! BTW, the coloured version was dull - as it was a dull day - that's why the high contrast version works. Cheers Sheila Sheila Smart

Nice shot, well spotted and great concept. If it was possible to take the photo from a slightly higher position the horizon would pass just above their heads and might make a stronger image. This seems like a fun idea to run with and recreate - along with Poon's suggestion.

Thanks all. I take my camera to work every day, regardless of the weather and I have worked out that 90% of my shots are taken going to work, lunchtime or coming home.

Hi Sheila,
Nice shot, I can appreciate it as you have presented it. I have to admit though I'm not really a fan of B/W, must have something to do with my time on the newspapers back in the early 80's. Regards Tony All I know, is that I don't know enough.....
The black and white treatment is nice, but I happen to find the perspective a bit annoying.

Could I ask why?  I could not get the shot head on as it were because of the huge norfolk pine!

You can ask, but I can't guarantee to give you an answer you'll like.
It's probably something you can fix up in Photoshop. How good are you with perspective crops? Really, I find that the perspective framing here isn't even and is a bit touchy to look at. I'd probably perfer to look at a perspective where the frame for the shelter isn't crooked underneath roof with the same amount of space on either side.] I find the perspective in your just that tad annoying for something so otherwise symmetrical.

You didn't consider chopping it down? g.

An option would be to shoot straight ahead so the tables and brickwork are parallel to the focal plane. This would mean that the image is on the left side of the frame, the right side will include some junk. You can then crop the image in Photoshop. Alternatively (as Leigh has pointed out), you could perspective correct the current image in Photoshop. Another more expensive option would be a Tilt/Shift lens  .Mark
