MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom
Of these dudes are so C-O-O-L. Are they models in real life? Or is it jsut your expert camera technique that has made them so for the day? Either way - Great shot!

Steven from Chicagoland, United States
I like how the one guy has arched his eyebrows as if he is questioning a statement made. I love the almost monotone look where there is a lot of black, including the background, which in turn makes their faces really "pop."
16 Jun 2009 9:01pm
@Steven: cheers mate!! lol -- Benny has the raised eyebrows -- he is a certainly a cheeky fella!! :)
@MadScientist: LOL. yes indeed!! :)
manel from Girona, Spain

Thinking that you are in Brooklyn, before reading the description, I was going to say that the guy on the left looked British, but being an Aussie, he might not take it as a compliment. Nice shot.

Nice portrait. Tell them to lay off the smokes.
