It looked like these 2 groups of people were looking the opposite way from one another so looked divided:

Nice spot, the obvious contrast of the womens apparel in the first shot certain shows the cultural divide, and it is interesting that the background has an obvious military overtone.

Thanks! Yes, I noticed the cultural differences also between the 2 groups and thought it was a great cultural juxtaposition.

Great first image, so many potential captions for it on many levels.

I know! It's quite a crazy image what with the world the way it is today, warships, westerners and the middle east.

Maybe I am too used to the multicultural. All I saw was one side used to the weather and the other not.It is interesting with the ships in the background. Nice study.
