1.    The first that I see is a group of people in a room. It´s likely to be a meeting room or perhaps an office, although i am sure it’s a workplace.

2. In the picture, in foreground to the right, there is a young woman with her back to the camera.  She has long straight blonde hair, is wearing a check shirt and holding a notepad in her hands. It could be she is writing down the suggestions of others. Maybe she's the head of the group.

.    There is a woman sitting near her, she is young and very pretty, she has long blonde hair. She is telling something; it is likely that she is suggesting something about the subject. She is moving her hands to help express herself.

4.   There is a young man with a pair of glasses sitting to the left of the picture. He has a bit of a beard and mustache. He wears a check shirt and he looks very attentive what the blonde young woman is saying to. He will probably be in love with her secretly.

5.   There is an opened laptop in front of him.

6.  Behind the three people, from right to left there are three other people standing. There is a young woman on the right, she is dressed in blue, has long hair and is looking at the woman who is speaking. 

7.  Next to her is a young man in a red sweater and scarf. He has a beard and mustache. It seems that the meeting doesn’t interest him, he is probably thinking of flirting with the young woman next to him.

8.   To the left of the picture is a young black woman. She is dressed in black and wears a blue shirt. He has long black hair. She looks thoughtful. It is likely that she is thinking about when to leave. Maybe she's looking for a hidden camera.

 In the background, from right to left, there is a piece of furniture with some flower pots on it. In addition, there is a door and glass wall that will likely connect to another meeting room.
