Mike, you're right, the image has a touch of wierdness. The dress, probably specially purchased to make the "occasion" is fussy, contrived and doesn't seem to match the surroundings and the earthiness of these young women. It's almost as if she's put the dress on over her street clothes. The shoes....look at the shoes. All in all, a very interesting photograph.
