Tea Time Chat

By lonely_oryx  
Taken through a shop window in Portsmouth. Had to remove the relections though.

I was giving a talk to a camera club a few weeks back. When I showed this picture there was a bit of a stir in the audience. It turn out that the ladies were the next door neighbours of two of the members

Nice interaction and eye contact between the two and the contrast with the lady focussing on her tea. Getting to the age when you need to look at your cup rather than lift it while looking at someone else or you spill it............................know the feeling!!!
