I didn't notice the shorter gal's hand until Melethia mentioned it. To me it looks like it's a carton of milk. Maybe I just want it to be a carton of milk to go along with Melethia's comment about "smoking not stunting everyone's growth." Milk is, after all, supposed to make you big and strong.
Honestly, after appreciating the general composition, due to leading lines, my eyes were directed to the larger woman's breasts. Man, that woman's in dire need of a good bra. The shorter gal unfortunately is forced to stare at those. I deduct that they keep their friendship professional and are not very good friends, otherwise the shorter gal should feel obligated to say something about her terrible/lack of bra. Or maybe! Maybe if the taller woman wears a proper bra she won't be able to make eye contact with the shorter gal. Perhaps she forgoes breast support for the sake of communication. Maybe they really are great friends after all.
I must have looked at this at least 15 times now. It's fascinating and I really can't figure out why. Maybe it's the thing that replaces the smaller woman's hand. What is that? And the fact that smoking obviously doesn't stunt everyone's growth.
Oh...Ummmmmm...those shiny shoes harbor endless visual fascination! Clever entry, Brian! Enjoyed this image with a savory cup from Panama this week...;-)
Love this palindrome. And the fact that the woman's head was cut out makes it even more interesting. The black and white is a nice choice also. Good shot.
