There's something about this picture that touches me, that draws me in. Something about the distance between them. It's not too far and not too close; It's just comfortable. Looking at their backs, I wonder what they're talking about, what they had talked about, were they talking at all. Are they friends? Lovers? It seems only they would know.
This picture is one of my interpretations of Heero and Duo. This is how I see them. They make me wonder, fascinate me, make me love them more.
I was going to cut some of the foreground out, but found that in losing the distance between them and the observer, you also lose that feeling of not knowing what's going on. You're suddenly in their space and become part of the conversation. I didn't want that, this was their moment and we can just step back, watch, and enjoy.
Thank you for viewing and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the picture.
