Critique Welcomed Itinerant Laborers, Abu Dhabi

[Brian Moore]

I presume they are itinerant laborers, since they didn't speak English (or at least didn't say anything to me in English). I communicated my interest in shooting their portrait by way of gesture and eyebrow movements. They gave me permission by responding in kind.

This is at the main bus terminal in Abu Dhabi. November 2019.

That is a good portrait. One smiling for the camera, the other looking disinterested. Their apperances compliment each other, but their expressions contrast.

Thanks for your observations, Dave. Appreciated!

That is a damn fine portrait indeed, enhanced by the fabulous contrast in colours.

Yes, good one, Brian. We could play at Fill In The Thought Bubbles.

Hahaha. Good one, Rob. You go first. No,...wait. Let's not.

Aww...I wanted to start with "His kilt is WAY too short!"

This is great Brian.
I am, however, slightly disappointed that your mastery of eyebrow vocabulary doesn't extend to establishing whether someone can speak English.

Chris I'm fluent in Eyebrow , I just didn't think to ask them in whether English was a lingo they spoke.

Thanks for your comments, Chris.
