Rakesh,The lighting is perfect. This one really draws you into the scene. The man wearing the darker clothing has the bearing of a professor and the postures of the two bring to mind a deep interesting conversation. The man in the red coat looks as if he wants to be part of it, but is outside of it. Very creative use of the smoke to further seperate the two "worlds".
Best,
Rachel #1811433
