These inmates at the county jail were out last week washing the local law enforcements' vehicles. C&C always welcome and requested.

You can't tell just by looking that they are inmates...you need something in the shot that lets the viewer know that they're looking at something other than two dudes washing a car.

Thank you Thomas, and good point, Jason. I had not thought of that - I could have either shot lower or backed up a bit to show their orange pants or shot from the opposite side to show the "boss" issuing orders from behind smoked out sunglasses. Many thanks!

I agree. The PJ shot needs to tell the story without words. Now, a couple of guys in striped jumpsuits with ball and chain, and a guard with glasses and a shotgun. That would tell a story !!!! Might even make a good movie. Can you say "Cool Hand Luke"?

Hehe, I agree entirely, Tom; that's the shot I'll be aiming for next time the sheriff calls to let me know "the boys" are out working in the community.
