I like this. It's different. Lots of people tend to associate candids with monochromatic images, and I don't see that as being necessary. There's a certain intimacy in this image that i believe is crucial to good candids. it's not just 'catching a scene', it's capturing a moment, which i think you've done. the catchlights in their hair are awesome, especially the girl; it gives that ethereal glow that makes it almost seem like you're seeing more than just their physical selves. maybe you're seeing some of their aura too.
The older fella in his pensive state to me is just magic. I bet to those who know him, that pose - glasses in mouth, eyes lost in thought - just sums up the man.
all in all this gives us a closer look at what seems to be more than just three people standing together; it's inviting us into their relationship, whatever it may be.
Technically i suppose there could some improvements in the crop (their placement in the scene), and the focus is a tad soft, but those are ultimately irrelevant based on what the image conveys.
Very nice.

Candid, but not all that interesting or attention holding...

| A very well shot photo. Though for myself I find it difficult to pick the mood and emotion in the moment. Still like it though. |

| Fascinating lighting. Assuming you didn't have some serious flash wotking here, one has to presume fill light bouncing from a building's glass front back into the subjects. The combination of strong backlight with intense fill tends to make this "feel" more posed than candid, but it's a nice shot regardless. |

| Great backlight... odd "in-between" moment, something more seems to be happening, perhaps the photographer could've waited for the "story" to unfold visually |

Like the very contemplative look. I like how he may or may not be with the couple.
Good luck. |
