Boris, I think this is a tremendous photograph! One of the best I've seen from you in some time (or maybe ever). I love the pensive stares, the deep concentration of each person, I like their symmetry (seated in opposite directions, but on different planes from the lens), the way his left arm mimics the angle of her screen, the way you cropped the coffee cup, that dark vertical wall in the background adds interest and breaks up what could be a boring background. I think the dof is about perfect for me. I can't see a thing about this photo that I don't like. It's wonderful. Thanks for letting us look at it. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
