Nice candid shot. I really like how the background adds to the mood of the shot.

Great capture...! Good observation Melethia about the guy up there...

Actually, I would also be curious to see you gettin a snap of the kids climbing on the letters.

The colorful balloons in the background make a nice visual echo to the letters in front, and the father and son illustrate "love" so nicely.

Good job on the b&w -- and you managed to control the exposure despite the strong sunlight on their faces.

Sometimes in that situation (after sizing up the subjects, of course), I'll show them the photo display and say something truthful like "I hope you don't mind, I'm practicing my street photography and you seemed like an interesting subject" (or whatever the case may be). I've offered to email people any photos, too, and have done so a few times.

Comment by Melethia:
I'm not sure but I think this one actually works better in color than in B&W. I like the warmth and richness of the browns.

I like the way the letters lead me directly to the father and son. While the word is prominent, and in focus, the father and son to me are the focus of the shot. And I like the young man's sideways glance. All that said, there's an ominous bit with the guy in the upper right. He strikes me as a bit scary - a warning to keep those you love close, perhaps.

He does look as though he's seriously sizing you up to determine if kicking your a$$ is worth the effort or not... She strikes me as very self-assured.

Women can be nasty! Great catch.

Comment by Melethia:
My favorite part of this is the unspoken interaction. He knows what she's doing without even looking, she knows where he is - same deal. And I love the light on her hair. Is this truly B&W with sepia or is there a hint of color? And thanks for sharing the shooting approach!
