Smiling? Flirting? I don't see any of those. There are at least as many clues in the faces for a totally opposite analysis. In my mind there are more clues for sadness. Look above the eyes at the patches of darkness. Look at the turn of the lips. When Leslie said you could see the sadness even in the smiles, I suspect she was correct. I think she captured the real story in this image. pax rand
