Description
Not far from the group of young people I posted in my previous photo, I met these two yougsters going in the general direction of the group. Were they joining them? Am I biased or do they look a bit stoned? Anyway they seemed to have been together for a while, since they walked with the same rhythm, just swinging the same hands with their cigarettes.
Thank you for your kind comments.

They look so depressed..still not cool to look happy I suppose.
Good shot..well said!!
I agree with your narrative these must be two very silly and misguided people! Nice shot.
Perhaps they come from a parallel universe? Great human interest shot! Very interesting questions raised! Very well presented, Sandra!!!!
Great capture. Her faces have a very listless expression.
Great capture. Always a shame to see young people smoking.
questa forma di stare insieme, si chiama empatia? Mi piace molto . :)
Interesting capture, Sandra if they keep leaning forward, they will fall on their faces
Nice work, maybe it was the camera that gave them the on edge look!
Superb capture !!
Beautiful composition. excellent work
Sua narrativa parece correta minha amiga, excelente captura, aplausos (5)
Thet definately are high on something. Very nice work Sandra!!
Good capture Sandra, and it is always nice to see a young couple but sad to see that they didn't learn from the example of those before them of how dangerous smoking can be.
like the photo looks to this my friend, thanks for sharing.
It appears, as if they don't have a care in the world - probably ripped ... up to the hilt, any second now - she will trip over her undone shoelace ;-) BB
There is a certain world weary look to them...good capture.
Another spectacular capture Sandra, amazing colors, superb work!
Great couple for sure eh.
very candid capture and among your best
They look stoned and it is a shame that the young people don't understand the dangers of smoking and pot. She needs to tie her sneaker lacing. Dana
They look urban more than anything, to me...and I suppose looking depressed is a part of the whole urban look. It's one of those universal things...either looking depressed, detached, or just so casually nonchalant that one wonders just how close the person is to slipping into a coma. I love the contrasts here as well, the brilliant colors, the detached, disaffected expressions, the casual ease, and though smoking is much maligned these days, it's actually an interesting thing to see as smoking also happens to be one of those truly old human customs that coincides with the development of a more sedentary lifestyle (as with alcohol, tobacco production requires that one stay put and not be so incredibly nomadic, unless tobacco just so happens to grow wild enough to simply pick.) What really grabs me is the stark fullness of the guy's features. He has an interesting face. As for stoned: well, they are at the right age for that, though they could easily be buzzed and close to an alcohol stupor. At any rate, it's an intriguing picture and a glimpse into what, at least for these two, is probably just everyday life, with lots of sartorial color. Brilliant.
Nice street capture! One day they'll regret the smoking, or at least the bad parts of it.
Very interesting capture of these to Sandra.. Stoned.. quite possible, dead beats... more than likely, smoking.. such idiots obvious with all the smoking warnings and they still do they have to be.. It is interesting how the both have pretty much the same pose or walk.. Well done Sandra.
they dont look stoned to me the eyes are too wide opened,who knows what crap they take nowadays .
Great capture of what life has become today.
very cool image!
beautiful street scene. I love it
Well seen these couple. They are obviously not 'fresh'.
