Beautiful image

Great capture…......excellent treatment, well done.

Beautiful capture Deborah,fits its title perfectly

Great shot,

Nice work Deb

great composition and mood

Lovely soft touch here. I really like the detail you’ve provided for this image Deborah. Thankyou.

I love the composition here Deborah and silhouette of the boys as well as the sky!

The atmosphere here is so palpable, such a wonderful vastness & stillness about it. This image has the feel of an old cinematic still. Gorgeous work Deb.

Nice silhouette work again, Deb. (I think I’ve seen this hill before!)

Superb treatment as always Deb. I get a real sense of harmony from this image, a recall back to those years when everything was so simple… friendships were easily made and just as easily broken. Only to be reforged stronger than ever the very next day.

Perfectly simple, yet stunningly brilliant.

Excellent capture Deb.

Beautiful image. A perfect moment of stillness captured. Love your description also.

Lovely shot. with strong mood and great contrast.

Wonderful atmospheric shot Debs excellent work well done

I see them looking into the past and then the future.. Childhood memories and things to come.. You captured it all Deborah.. Bravo..

from such simplicity you capture an instant of time and a world of hidden depth. brilliant.

Wonderful shot – you’ve captured the moment excellently, the unspoken friendship is very evident in this picture

Fantastic shot, beautiful atmosphere to this

You have a real talent for capturing the moment and making it special.Plus a lovely little story to go with it well done Deborah

This is really an amazing image you were able to capture….the stillness of the boys and the magnatude of the skynis so countering each other that it really makes a tremendous shot…...It is as the heavens and sky are going to open up at any moment….and they are just quietly being alone in this huge world….nothing else is in existance for that split moment for them…..superbly captured…..

Such a dramatic shot…love this, Deborah!
Love the framing with the little part of the hill on the left.

Wonderful moment in time. Love the B & W. A great tribute to boyhood!

Steven Poliokoff captured image… wonderful… time captured..

Adorable moment this is so beautiful Deb awesome capture love the composition and dreamlike effect. Incredible

I think this is your BEST yet The lighting and well everything is just perfect!

very powerful shot…........

Simple yet stunning! A fantastic image Debs in every way. I love the light in this and your expertise with the dark tones is brilliant here.. the sky looks awesome and I love the silhouettes of the 2 boys with just that hint of light on their faces… Brilliant framing and mood.

brilliant capture

absolutely love it! well done!

Beautiful and tender shot.

Beautiful and dreamy !

An eloquent image, Deborah. One of my favourites.

Nice shot I love the moody feel of this one I like the way the boys are framed by the clouds.

Lovely silhouette photo…has a spiritual feel to it.

Brilliant as always Deb..You always managed to convey such strong feelings in your images..Superb..

The two figures on their own though mainly flat black are so expressive and seem to have so much detail and the hill and sky are fantastic, ( I keep leaning over to see if I can see further down the hill) lol. Altogether its such a wonderful picture Deb, one of your classics.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments and support – much appreciated.

Wicked capture Deb

Gorgeous moment of observation. Thanks for sharing!

stunning Deb, gotta love that sky, the treatment as always is exceptional, great snapshot of life. wonderful

Missed this in all the post meet up excitement! Lovely silhouette Debs.wonderful tones…awesome sky. Ijust knew theboys were smiling/laughing before I saw the description! Lovely image.

Very well done! Exceptional photo!

Perfect composition… Beautiful work!

what an amazing capture… it’s the body language that comes across so clearly… Great work deborah!

Wonderful! Love the sky and the angle of the ground

Great portraiture. Well composed and good in BNW. Stormy sky is a nice touch.

Wonderful atmospheric image

Remarkable photo. Very powerful. Loved reading your commentary, too

Beautiful, staring off into the heavens, very moody

Amazing

I would love to see this with dimensions of 2 by 3 meters, or something like that. Real big. It is such an impressive work. If less is more, this image writes a novel. About friendship indeed. It is such a quiet and silent moment. And in the silence there is a whole universe of thoughts and emotions. The impressive sky emphesizes how important these moments are; they make the world turn around. The whole image also tells how important it is these moments are seen, in this case by you. A monument for (childhood) friendship.

Tremendous treatment, Deb. You’ve captured the moment perfectly.

The description gives the true event that occurred but I didn’t get this from the shot on my own. They look to be really reflecting on something and the dark tones and strong silhouettes tinge it with sadness for me. The heavy strong clouds just add this to the mood and reflection on an event is what the image gives me.
This really is “In The Moment” stuff!

Powerful image. A lot of feeling here.

striking, very striking… I clicked favorite without a moments thought…

good capture, and good job depicting the story behind the photo…..keep up the good work

This image has a wonderful impact, with or without the funny story. You’ve drawn me right into their world, their view..awesome Deb :)

Beautiful, excellent done!

Really nice…I like it.

Great capture.

Such a moody shot – great use of thirds, fantastic contrast and slight vignetting add a nice artistic touch. Well done!

Simple, nice shot…..very atmospheric….xx

Splendid work..very well done!

nice work

we were all told to wait for the decisive moment you have caught it perfectly great capture and printing

amazing shot … you are creative

The simplicity here speaks volumes. This is up there on my list..
I gave your card to Mum, by the way. (I was offline at the time of receiving it-
and yes, it finally came!) she actually gasped when she saw it. :)
Loved it. She has it displayed on her shelf, and I see it each time I go over.
Thanks again Deb-and it looks great printed!

(the card was “A Blue Day”, by the way)

Awesome image Deborah…

Stunning work. I can almost feel the mood. Excellent processing work.
