Edit to add Boston.com has a couple stills up now. Better quality

[brooklynite]

[amuse bouche]

20. Yes they are much better

I'm sure the tips are rolling in now

Clearly it is flvegan's avatar.

11. Reddit thread for Identify The Clothing:

Let's identify the shoes and jackets and bags, etc. Got one hat.

13. hat

12. Enhance.

14. ... is a function which doesn't really exist accurately outside of fiction. (nt)

[AtheistCrusader]

15. Maybe it's just the nose but

the one in the white cap just makes me think of the Columbine shooters... Klebold I think.

Edit: That guy is going to regret wearing his hat backwards like that. Look how sheltered the other guy's face is from the surveillance cameras.

[Ash_F]

19. True. But if they can find one...

..they can find the other. Odds are these men are from the area and will be IDed.

[benld74]

16. These need to be enhanced CSI style,,,

[Ash_F]

17. There's is a reason that's a tv show. /nt

[defacto7]

18. Only a matter of time now.

and probably not very long.

[frogmarch]

21. Thanks for the pics

and video. Since I live in Nebraska and wouldn't know the suspects, I'm staying away from the fbi website so that people who might know them can successfully log on.

[frazzled]

24. Good thinking ...

I didn't want to go there, either.

In addition, I've been thinking that these pictures are purposefully not all that great because they really only want people who know these people well enough to identify them calling and writing in. Just a thought.

22. FBI tip site https://bostonmarathontips.fbi.gov/

https://bostonmarathontips.fbi.gov/

Someone's going to flag one of these guys. Somebody knows him.

Not that it means he's the perp.

26. Enlargement of Guy #2 leaving the scene after the second explosion:

[drm604]

28. And it appears that he no longer has a backpack.

[OnlinePoker]

29. Playing devils advocate, though

There were a lot of backpacks and bags left around the scene when people ran. That was one of the things the cops said they were doing just after the explosion...clearing the site bag by bag.

On another piece of this, what happened to the report of a "dark-skinned man" that the dick from CNN was talking about? These guys don't seem that dark-skinned to me.

[drm604]

30. But he doesn't seem to be running.

He took off the pack, set it down, then calmly walked away? That's possible, but I think this picture may be one of the reasons they're looking for this guy.

27. suspects resemble Middle Eastern...

Anyone concur?

[spotbird]

31. Boston is East, but you're right

they could be from New York or even Pennsylvania. No saying, really, they all look alike.

I'll give you a hint as to what their passports will say. What country do we need to an excuse to attack next? Let's let two men start another fucking war for us.

[alp227]

32. One of the guys has a darker complexion than the other

All i can say is anything is possible. I was listening to the press conference on NPR this afternoon. Robert Siegel and Michelle Block (I think she was co hosting at the time) both speculated that the suspects were Caucasian (Caucasian technically also includes people of Middle Eastern origin).
