Gee, Frank, I'm not sure how to take that comment. The two people are clear and detailed - I can see the whites of the guy's eyes, the little hair thingy in the woman's hair, her braids,even some detail in the guy's hair, and his ring. There's not a dark shadow in the scene. Are you suggesting that the corner in which they're sitting is very dark, or do you mean that they are just incidental to the overall scene? Anyway, there's not much of a story here, as the pic is nothing more than a QuikSnap to see how the lens performed and to verify the exposure. It's just a couple of people sitting in the corner of the shop having some ice cream after an afternoon of shopping. Is the "Old Navy" shopping bag noticeable? Hmmm ... I guess that is the story <LOL> A moment in the life of an Ice Cream Shoppe Bottom line is I kept the lens ... ;-)) Thanks for commenting.
