Thanks Konstantin. Lydia, I find it hard, too. I actually saw lots of good candid photo opportunities but people seemed very aware of the camera so I thought better of it. -dtallakson

Thanks, dt. I think I could do that. I just don't do public photography very comfortably. ~Lydia

this is an amazing shot. The captured emotions here are priceless! Love the colors here - not sure I would feel myself comfortable surrounded by such walls, but these make the picture very colorful and add a touch.
You should have a good luck to capture moments like here. You did a great job!

Thanks Lydia. I'm always hesitant to take pictures of strangers but I knew I was going to this restaurant this day and thought I would bring the camera just in case there was something interesting to photograph for this challenge. Well, the restaurant was nearly empty except for these people and a couple others. I didn't want to put the camera to my eye so I set it on the table and used Live View to aim and focus. I took a number of shots but this one seemed to tell a story. -dtallakson

Well captured emotions here. Nice colors too.

Haha nice capture. I dunno who has it worse. The couple with no privacy or the lone lady?

What a moment to catch - as the pair stare lovingly into each others eyes, the 3rd wheel tries not to look at them. How boring for her! :-) CJ

Is she uncomfortable or just wishing it were time to go home? You did a nice job with this one. Penny Street
