lensbaby shot. this was not a tense moment at all. It was a mid discussion pause, an agreement or disagreement with something and a resolution all in one instance. Perhaps it was a disagreement about the details of how something happened years ago, a fun remembrance with a twist. These are my parents, after Easter dinner.
This was shot in "monochrome mode" The processing consisted of a crop and selection of an Nik software preset. That is it.
THANKS for the comments. Fun to be part of this awesome challenge.

A fine, emotion-drenched image wherein anything and everything is on the tip of the tongue. After so many years together, this could be small talk or lapidary conversation, each word loaded with nuance and energy. The modest blur opens up possibilities. I'm a bit bashful to be present at this moment. But glad that I am.
Lovely moment of companionship. I know you intentionally went all loose for the challenge, but I reckon it works better with the bit of negligence anyway. I see all that's important like this, and tack sharp focus would have detracted rather than added. Thank you.
I see real half and half on the table - shows they know how to appreciate the good things. And one definitely gets the feeling they appreciate each other, too.
Excellent mid-conversation catch! Very interesting image that holds my attention. Does the blur and grain make it better? I'm not sure so it doesn't detract.
Great mood......I love the capture of the obvious interaction. The soft focus adds to the intrigue of the image and I like the harsh light for the image as well.
