The Conversation

This is a photograph from my first day in Venice, when I went to the beach to photograph the surfers.  When I got out of my car, the first thing I saw was these two women in a conversation on top of a sand dune.  I switched to my 400mm telephoto lens and photographed them from a long way away.  I love the woman on the left who was waving her arms around while she spoke.  It was because the women were silhouetted against the sky that I spotted them in the first place.  After about 10 minutes, I felt that I had a good photo, so I walked away.  They were still talking on the dune as I walked further down the beach toward the surfers.
