Wonderfully composed shot. The shadows really work well with this image. This is quite impressive.
It’s uncanny how these two look similar. Could be the same person taken 40 years a part and I would know.
Thank you very much. It’s a great little spot when the sun is shining. The tricky part is getting someone (or indeed some people) in just the right spot, at just the right time!
And yeah, I was amazed how similar they look. Very pleased too, as that aspect definitely makes the photo.
BTW, the older fellow’s lips seem very pink. I wonder if the tone/saturation of the image (or my monitor) caused this, or perhaps he’s wearing colored lip balm. His younger self might be in the process of applying something to his lips, so this has been the norm for many years. 😉
Ah, ‘ Youths’ path diverges‘. I like that a lot. Sums it up perfectly.
Thank you very much. Really happy how this one came together.
Haha, could well be! Went back to the original image to check I hadn’t upped the saturation a little too much, and no, his lips really are unusually pink. A nice little extra!

Your timing and composition is always amazing.
