It was that awkwardness of such goodbyes that I was trying to capture. The person on the right was in the same boat. Now, as I was there, I have the advantage that I knew what was up. I hoped that some may have figured out what I was trying to say, but maybe they (at least you <g>) didn't. That's kind of why I think the bus in the background is important. You can't miss the fact that we're at a bus terminal.
There's something about goodbyes at the bus terminal that I hate. I think if I cropped, that would be lost.
Now, all of this reminds me (and this is one of the reasons I'm still not sure about this shot) that a photo, most of the time, has to stand on it's own, without narrative or explanation. I'm not sure if this does or not. Your comment is part of my process of what exactly (if anything) I should do with this one, how much work I should put into "preparing it", if I do at all.
