interesting pic, very well exposed imo. it shows how light it is and dark inside without really blowing the highlights, black and white is really good too. cool shot
I definitely like the lighting and high contrast. I'm not a fan of the picture itself though. I'd like it better with the same type of tonal values, but watching the subjects walk towards you, or away.
It just seems like there is no relation of the image to the subjects. No intimacy between the two.
