Good shot and nice exposure. The light is nice and relevant to each character's expression. Your geometry is slightly crooked, but barely noticeable. Overall, an wonderful moment.

Great capture! I love how different emotions are presented. Did you over expose the photo a little bit? I like the outcome.

Très sympa cette photo. J'aime l'attitude très différente des personnages, la jeune femme et son geste accueillant et l'homme à la cigarette, très désinvolte.

One is happy and friendly. The other seems a little more subdued and can't be bothered. Well seen.

Toute l'ambiance des rues de Milan dans ce N&B savamment cadré.

Young enthusiasm. Old cynicism. You couldn't ask for better than this. A fabulous human capture, Giovanni.

Yes, she waves and the man is thinking about whether or not he drops the kitchen sink or a flower pot on your head --he sure looks grumpy.

martie from somewhere, United States
Wonderful composition! I wonder if the girl is smiling because she's so young and doesn't realize how hard life can be - and the older man is gazing down remembering how difficult life can be, yet enjoyable too?

Nice! I like the contract between the two different behavior of the woman and the old man...
