Because I am currently overwhelmed with work, I hurried through the PUG
and, quite frankly, had not given your photograph the time or attention
it deserves. Shel's comments directed me to it, and upon further
scrutiny, I found it very compelling. There is a rather vivid sensual
tone to the image. The people who are most nearly in focus are captured
in one of those fleeting moments. There are expressions of joy, fatigue,
surprise and fear, all within the confines of your image. And the
graininess and limited depth of field contribute to the communication.
In other words, I like it :-). It's a thoughtful execution.
