Hi John,
Well caught. Would color have distracted too much from the action? I could imaging the loud shirt might.

Hi John,
Welcome to OPF, glad to see you here.
This is a rather nice picture, I like it. What especially caught my attention was the tough look of these guys. Do you know them or were they total strangers? If so, then how did they react to their picture being taken? ;-)
Re. B&W vs. color, I like it in B&W. As Bart says, one can easily imagine the tropical colors of the shirt after all.
Cheers,

Hi Cem,
Thanks for the welcome and the compliment! As Bart asked (Hi Bart, thanks also for the comment) I thought the image spoke better in B&W. In the original version they stood out less. It's also a tight crop.
They were strangers, as are all of my street subjects. I honestly don't even register a reaction anymore. One develops a curious distance (and an equally thick skin) when stalking the "streets". It's not for the shy of heart. I've been screamed at, chased and even beaten by an 80 year old woman's umbrella. Laughingly, it goes with the territory.
Warm regards,
John

Amusing: they look as if they're watching their investments evaporate.

LOL! - never thought of that.
Actually they were 3 business-type tourists trying to take a picture of Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan. None of the 3 could figure out the camera function on their cell phones.
All you heard was "did you get it?"..."nah"..."did you?"..."hows this !@#$ thing work?", etc, etc, etc.

Haha, some generation down the line they're going to print on these things "mobile phones are injurious to your brain"...
