interesting...made me think about how accepted this has become in our society, and what still would be considered really appalling would be to switch the gender roles. I wonder if in my lifetime women will become equal enough to make that not the case.
I love the lighting and the composition, and the feeling of action (they don't look like they're posing, but instead it seems like you just happened upon a scene and decided to take a photo). I wish the background had been a bit different although I guess it would have been hard to do something else without being distracting. Maybe white?
