I love the half hidden woman behind the man in the suit. Just showing half her face gives her so much presence in the photo, while cutting off the eyes of the man makes him feel faceless/anonymous/not present (don’t know the right word) despite how much of him I can see. I find it very interesting.
That couple was walking down the street and I knew I had to get a picture. I know I am probably King Hyperbole, but she was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. So at first I was a bit disappointed to only get that much of her face but then I realized it was a better photo than the one I expected to take.
