L/F...Brilliant! ..."Mind the Gap"...the silent communication ...the hand at the right pointing towards crossed arms body at the left....

Another masterful photograph Michel. Your photos are superb and always intriguing, asking questions, narrating a story, making an observation on life. This one is perfectly composed and I love the diagonal slats of the bench. Terrific work. L/F

Very touching, subtle, sad. It conveys lonliness in an urban environment. I particularly love your bold cropping. It makes the image. Takes a real pro, very gutsy. Love it!

Michel Verhoef replied:

Thanks Yvonne ! The usual space that people keep between each other is always like that...it has to do with everyone's private space I guess..and that void is just too special not to shoot :-)

I'm often fascinated by images of people and without seeing their faces, just looking at the body language. It says so much.

Michel Verhoef replied:

Thanks a lot for understanding Maggie :))

Minimalistic story-telling about near and distance! Great mood!
