 These two gentlemen are Vietnam vets (one is Air Force, one is Navy) who have become best friends. They spend their afternoons feeding the ducks at a pond near the Charleston wounded vets center. They were gracious enough to allow me to photograph them.

Wonderful post work here with a terrific setup on the composition. They seem to convey a good sense of comradely which really contributes to the appeal of the photo.

I don't want to hear any complaints - this did just fine, and you do people a whole lot better than you think!

Catherine- Really nice job on this candid - the vignetting worked well to focus our attention. The title really helps us understand a story - two old friends hanging out.

Nice job Catherine. I like the way you achieved the gritty feel without using grain. Nice score too. Keep up the good work.

good composition and capture of two characters. The post-processing/coloring (whatever you have done to achieve this "look") works well here.
