What was it about this photo that made you decide to post it?

As Henry has pointed out, many of your photos, like this one, are too distant to have any interest.

I kind of like it (though I do understand the criticism of being too distant).  Something about those "balls" makes it look like we're witnessing a chain reaction just took place between the man <----> ball 1 <----> ball 2 <----> woman; and the man's gaze connects everything.

Not sure if that was @mikozia's intent, but that's how I see it, LOL.

Thank you Prosophos. This photo was actually intended to show the diversity of races and ethnicities in the U.S.A, I personally have experienced many incidents involve myself being Asian, including some at this forum. 

My husband is a retired LAPD officer and he told me about the famous "Can we all get along?" from Rodney King, the center of what started the Los Angeles Riot. 

I sincerely hope that this "Trend" will not get any worse than before.

Please do not confuse racism with legitimate criticism. My comments have absolutely nothing to do with your sex or ethnicity, only with what you post.

If you were trying to show diversity in this photo, wouldn't it have been a good idea to get close enough to the subjects that viewers could distinguish race? It also might have helped to put something about diversity in your title. "Shoppers" does not indicate anything about diversity.

Thank you for your point of view Mikozia  but I don't think playing the race card will  help.  Comments made on this forum I'm sure were made with intent to  improve your photography skills and  had nothing to  do with discrimination.

Off the record, my wife is also  Asian and my  two  daughters, the older is married to  a  Marine who happens to  be  from  Nicaragua. My 2nd daughter isn't married but adopted  at birth a Mexican boy who  is as much as my grandson as any other grandchild .

In terms of composition, I don't understand this photo.
