a charming mediteranien cenery ! Nice shot Sergey ! The legs from left and the rain water pipe are not so good

A very nice picture conveying some of the warm athmosphere of the alley chat. Exposure is perfect, composition is fine and the legs and water pipe doesn't bother me in this kind of shot.

Cheers, Jens.

Very pleasant picture, this is what live is all about. Contact with other people , why dont we see this more often...

Great shot Sergey,

Thanks for a nice comment. I like photos of people, especially when people are busy with their lives and are not noticing. That usually comes in a most natural way. In this case in Italy, however, I did stop and ask if photo is ok - they gladly agreed. - Sergey

I really like this. I had a difficult time clicking away from this photo. It makes me feel like I am actually present with these women.

Thanks Loren,
That was in Cinqueterre (North-Western part of Italy). We were galloping through the corridors of the village streets trying to find our way to the railway station, and then I saw group of villagers aimlessly chatting in the afternoon sun. Apparently neighbors. I asked if I could take a photo. They laughed and gladly agreed.
