what a great couple! they might be strangers, but you depict them as though they are sisters or friends for a lifetime! at least that's the story of this shot for me: two individual personalities, that know each other inside out, and form a harmonious entit together. my guess would be, the one on the left is the more outgoing and brave one, the one that's openly curious, inquisitive, skeptical, and not easily fooled, whereas the one that's a step behind her, is more reserved – introverted –, and lets her sister/friend act for both of them. so she can get the "news" second hand! i just love the detail of the young couple in the background, which we see only from the back! it's as though they are not "facing" old age yet, but, of course, they will be some time. so the eternally curious faces of the "girls" could be their own future – if they succeed in staying curious ; ))! greetings, sabine.
