Congrats to a great street pic with both an eternal theme of interest and skilled execution. Your choice of POV, composition and timing is perfect. A street pic to be inspired by and learn from :-) The only thing that I could possibly see being done differently is the blurring of the background but that is more a matter of personal preference. Well done!

Ricky Siegers Thank you Anders, like I told everybody. I am so happy with the moment that I got here. I have enough time even to compose and recomposed the moment. People are to busy with the party :)
I did choose the blur to avoid the distraction. Because is to many thing happen.
I have one like what you will do, I will submit that one on the future. And I am agree with you that they have different impact. But I took the picture from different angle just to have different story.
Thank you for your compliment :)

If you had placed the action in Times Square and changed the calender to 1945, you would have to wait 22 years to sing that song

Ricky Siegers What happen in Time Square, 1945 ?
I bet I am lucky that I don't have to wait for 22 years to sing that song, or should I wait for 22 years :)
Thank you Abilio

Abílio Silveira I guess you are kidding when you say "What happen in Time Square, 1945?"
You know that famous kiss of a sailor returning back at the end of World War II and a nurse... ;)

Ricky Siegers Sorry Abilio, I know about the sailor and the nurse from Alfred Eisenstaedt, but I didn't connect with the time square thing:)
So I know now that is happen in Time square. Thank you for give me the information. But I believe Alfred picture more strong. Even in this kiss both of the girl they have passion too. Thank you Abilio.

Phyllis Clarke 9 months ago

Ricky..the passion on her face is so intense...I can almost feel what she is feeling..What a magical moment you found here....I always enjoy your pictures of people doing and being in interesting places...Congratulations. Phyllis

Ricky Siegers Hi Phyllis, like what I explain to Andre (below) everything went right. I am quite lucky that they ignore me (more than a minute) so I have quite sometimes just to find a right angle.
I am happy that you enjoy my work :) social life, human movement are my passion. I even can watch them hours without my camera. On the street you can find drama, satire or comedy :)
Thank you for your kind words Phyllis.

Andre du Plessis 9 months ago

What a moment of passion you captured here in the street! Memories of that Doisneau do jump to mind, although I think that your embrace here is more appealing/more 'flowing'. That sandwich/baguette nicely rounds off the spontaneity of this moment.

Ricky Siegers Everything what I want from this picture was like what I plan from the moment I catch this action. Good part is ! that the take their time (seems the world belong to them :)), so I did the same. I made some round from this moment.
Thank you Andre for your compliment. I am going to be in UK next 10 days. But I think I am not gonna be in London.
I just stay in Kent area. But I will call you soon I am in UK :)
cheers
