Description
I love the two women on the right, peering as if it will help them figure out what they're seeing!
They're all looking at The Bean in Chicago, through some trees and at a bit of a distance. (Although the thing is huge, and hard to miss!)
That's Yvonne and Chip on the left, btw.

Stunning capture Tara. God Bless.
This is such a good study of humans in 'look' mode. They could not be better arranged if you had posed them yourself, and the selective colouring is a treat!
The two girls/women on the right look like they are related...everybody looks slightly stunned:) Love this people profile. Well done.
the world just turned B/W...thats why they are staring...;)
Great candid shot Tara. So Yvonne has a Chip on her shoulder then!!!
This is FUN! The expressions on the different peoples faces... my. I guessed they were trying to figure out something on the Bean from the looks of it all. Another fun thing is the people in focus are all in color while everything else is black/white, which adds interest and creates focus, making this photo more attention grabbing. I assume you used some form of editing software since this would require an enormous amount of time and effort to cut out the color part and paste it on the b/w background. Keep up the good work! :-) (PS - looks like the "bugs" on the map have found their destination!)
Great capture - perfect for a psychology study on the curious mind
Wonderful shot, Tara; your postwork really makes it pop! Take care in the predicted snowstorms today and tomorrow!
Great picture!! Chip is obviously not sure if he likes the thing or not lol excellent candid Tara and super postwork.. Rob
Fascinating. Wonderful concept and execution!
wonderful
Of course I immediately recognized Chip! A wonderful candid Hun!
You are very talented. Thank you for this one. 5+!
Great selective colouring here.
Wonderful work on this awesome image!!! Love the postwork!
I agree with Bill, they do look a bit stunned. This one snuck up on me. I concentrated on the color and missed the b&w for a moment. Brilliant postwork and color choice.
A really fun shot, Tara. They all look so concentrated. :-)
Nicely done!
Ah...Chicago...that tottering town (it's too old to toddle, and too tall for that too...and since it's snowy and gloppy, it's definitley not steady on its feet.) What a shot! I love the human interest in this and the way the two young ladies on the right actually look like they could be Czech...it's obvious that Lenka is the one in the sunglasses, and Martina is slightly obscured by her. That's always how it works over there...if your name's Lenka, you upstage everyone, at all times. I know a girl named Lenka...she lives on center stage! Okay, enough rambling. Onto this shot. It's a stunner and a doozie and I love the glimpse of Chicago that isn't often photographed. Everyone is always so focused on Da Bean that they completely ignore the Chicago Cultural Center and the el tracks farther west! That grabbed my attention the most as my eye wandered, and of course, there's me and Yvonne plotting a shot. Well, I think Yvonne was plotting a shot: you can see it on her face, she's reviewing camera angles and composing. I was probably looking for a seagull or a pigeon, just to see if it would attempt to...um...decorate the Bean in that way that only a seagull or pigeon is capable. Brilliant shot! I love this!
I love how you have the main figures in color, and the rest in B&W - very cool, Tara! I'm gonna have to make a trip to Chicago sometime!
so many expressions fun is there as the stares I see warm hugs, Linda Kaye
Nice pic
Thats my kind of photography Tara. Photograph people when they are not posing. Great capture!
Hey, I know those people! : ) Funny to see me in a photo, spending as much time as I do on the other side of the camera. I hadn't realized Chip was that tall either (or is that me being so short...) It sure was a fun day, excellent company and snapping away to our hearts content, who could ask for more?
Super candid, Tara, I like the selective desaturation, Clive
