I'd taken a couple of sly shots of these two chatting, then he noticed me just as she planted the kiss.



This was at a protest meeting:

Lovely couple of shots with #1 my fav .....nice to see a smile from the police officer too

[stepheno]

Good shots, a tad overexposed but nicely processed to mono As P-E says #1 is also my favourite but I'm not keen on the vast expense of white to the left of the frame. But.....with candids you often don't get much time to frame as you would like.

I don't know how you feel about a close crop on #1. I also ran it through Noiseware

[the_frog]

It's funny, most of my shots tend to be tighter on the subject, much like your crop, and people tell me to give the subject more space, allow it to breathe, etc. It's a subjective choice, and I prefer mine.

I'd have to disagree about the exposure, also - The main subject is exposed correctly; I chose to allow the background to wash out to achieve that.

NICE SHOTS, I LIKE THE MONO CONVERSION .

Yeah....that's fair enough

[Markulous]

A good couple of candid shots - personally I prefer the 2nd (tho be tempted to burn back that bright face in the middle BG)

Nothing wrong with the first but looks more portrait-like (not too sure of Stephen's crop which emphasises that - think it needs the arms/hands but maybe slight crop of LHS)

Nice shots - I think the first one needs some cropping - maybe half way between yours and Stephens.....IMHO

[TAZZ]

That is just a great shot (1), talk about freezing a moment. Love it! The second is good, but I think the first just steals the show. Also love the cropped version, but I do like a good crop.
