accidental encounter

Beautiful and bright colours.I like it.

I like the image. However, I am uneasy with the presentation, I just can't put my finger on why. The picture looks flat, or perhaps the colors appear washed out. I'm not quite sure, but something about the photo does not sit well with me. Does anyone else have this experience? If so, can you articulate it better?

I agree that it looks a little flat, probably from the use of the 135. The telephoto compresses the distance between the people more than say a 50 or 35mm that one would imagine the photographer to have used in a scene like this. It seems like it was taken from much farther away than typical "street shots"

It's a wonderful candid moment, but I agree that it's a little flat. Also, when viewed in "large" size, it loses a lot of sharpness, so I'm wondering if the original was sharp. What really strikes me as odd is, why crop 35mm down to a square? My eye sort of want's a little more foreground so I can naturally follow it up to the main focal point.

Might look better in vertical mode.

What atmosphere...very nice!

I know what's wrong with it. It looks like it was shot off the tv screen.
