Serious Hat Discussion?, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

This photograph was taken inside the Bendemeer Hotel last Saturday night. Bendemeer is principally a business hub for local sheep and cattle graziers. The small village is located in the New England area between Tamworth and Armidale on the New England Highway.

I watched these two gentlemen meet beside a large woodbox fire. What are the discussing so seriously? Maybe hat sizes? I don't know. But I do know the man in the 10 gallon hat is a local farmer and the other from the North Coast of NSW.

Hello Graham,
It is an image B&W of very good quality. I appreciate the placement of the heads on a diagonal, and the depth of the phoot. It is well seen. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hello Graham, Not the type of guy I would expect to be wearing the Peruvian type hat but I wouldn't dare tell him that, his eyes suggest to me that the other fella has told him that he looks a little silly ;-). Interesting & amusing, well seen & captured, BW seems to be an excellent choice. Well done my friend
Take care
Santo

G'Day Graham,
Serious hats deserve a serious discussion along with a serious beverage.
Love the shocked look on the leather clad gent facing your lens.
Regards, Tom

Hello Graham.
By looking at their expressions, they are looking serious with the discussion. Nice candid under low light. Thanks and kind regards.

Hello Graham
Whatever they could be talking about, the very image of masculinity is intense, due to black depiction and tight crop on thier common aura!
Hava g'day!
