I seem to have had a really productive time in Paris - here's another one. The title / caption is just a flight of fancy but I was caught by the effect of her eyes thrown out of focus and the dynamic between her and the guy she's with, and the guy in the foreground.
Did some experimenting with toning.

like the out of focus guy in the bg (probably because of the hat). would have liked a bit more sharpness on the fg man, but a very appealing photo as is. Hadn't noticed the lady until I read your description btw, but for me she's not important for this image
Thanks so much everyone. Funny isn't it that pics you've taken sometimes won't pull at your sleeve until some time afterwards.
Antonio thanks - and yes! Or rather, no he doesn't! Even though I've made up the story I'm really drawn to how it's playing out in the way she appears to be watching the guy in the fg go by.
. . an interesting and strong image Suzi . . I think you do people so well . . . [the "I have measured out my life" shot was imaculate] . . .
. .this is another great example . . one could read a lot into this . . every viewer will no doubt have their own take . . .
works just fine in mono . . .

I like these 'story in there' type of shots - cities like Paris and Rome are full of them (and, I suppose, London too, if you don't get arrested first) Regards.

(PS 800 redundancies announced at our Trust this Friday - I was SO dismayed when I heard. Where exactly are we heading?)
Good dof, with just enough detail to suggest a context without distracting from the subject.
