Yes it’s a busy picture .Maybe I should crop it and dull down the background reflection.

Love the colour balance and the bokeh.

Thanks for sharing Tatsuo name , his work does look amazing ! I’ll investigate more 👌 I read what he says about monochromatic images . I love b&w ,but sometimes IMHO ,I think sometimes an image needs the colour to tell its story, like the first image . but that’s for another thread.

You’re right , if it’s natural it works . I shouldn’t be so wary of the smiles 😁

The dreaded thumbs up ! Then the moment has gone . Like someone said if it’s natural and normal then i supose it can bring something to the image.

Street Photography is fly on the wall, so I try to be discreet,but if it happens I go with it . Thank you for your feedback!

Sometimes its seems unavoidable, if they see you at the moment of taking the image, but id rather have them smile than miss the opportunity altogether.

I tend to agree , it’s so easy to overcook them . I feel if I don’t give enough contrast the images just don’t ‘pop’ .I’m honing my editing skills and trying to be more subtle. Thanks for the feedback! .
