@kylie: Hahh, thanks Kyles, they were watching the boats on the harbour I think, but their what caught my eye was that their looks were so intense for something so peaceful. Thanks for your lovely comments and noticing the detail :o)

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks you DJ, you are gorgeous, I was intrigued with this image also, they weren't watching anything in particular, but the boats and ferries on the water at Circular Quay, I love the intensity they seemed have as they looked on in the afternoon sun. Thanks for stopping by my friend and for your wonderful comments!

yes, great capture and great b&w! i'm usually much too self-conscious to get shots like this... nice work! (...and belated congrats!)

@djedfre: Thank you DJ for your kind comments, Tis tricky to take these sorts of images.... I tend to try and look like I am a very daft photographer viewing lots of things through the viewfinder, then when they stop watching me, I sneak in the shot LOL, thanks for stopping by much appreciated.

Elaine- from Vancouver, Canada
what spotlight? i never know what day it is! well congrats and you deserve the spotlight! i like this shot, it's interesting to see the people, and i also love the richness of the black and white.. when i'm processing i always think i'm making it too dark, but when i look at it later it seems washed out.. like my photo today.. anyway, well done you! on it all

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
I was already thinking how you'd captured the moment so well in this documentary style shot before I read your dad's comment. He was spot on with what he said. This is great work. Sorry I wasn't around to see your photo spotlighted, but congratulations for that!
