----Greetings form the Critique Club!-----
First impression - Good technicals, really good B&W conversion, trash bin pulls attention form the subjects.
This is really good Street Photography technique. The compelling part of the image IMO is his hand on her back. A real moment that doesn't looked staged.
The balance of the shot is a little heavy on the right, and this makes the trash can more of a distraction.
A tighter crop that eliminated the trash bin would also make the hand more of a key element in the composition. The challenge would be to leave enough of the surrounding area in order to keep the street feel.
All in all a really good effort. Any score above 6 is a good score in my book.
I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. |

posthumous, I agree 100% about your take on the garbage can. This photo isn't complete without it. I tried alot of different crops here, and the photo seemed to "need" both the bin and the bench. I wouldn't do it any other way... |

This is awesome. You captured such a genuine look of tenderness on that guy's face. The perfect street moment!

very powerful photo. the composition adds intensity to the embrace. I gave this an 8 and would have bumped it higher if I'd gotten back to it.
p.s. the garbage can is perfect. don't you dare crop it out.

This is a nice capture but I find the blurry bench really distracting. Possibly crop in closer? Get rid of the trash can? |

Brilliant, if the spirit of photography is all about capturing 'moments' then this moment captures the spirit of photography.
It get's a high 9 from me, 9.5 maybe. |

nice emotion captured. i'm surprised you didn't crop way down square to just get the couple and remove the end of the bench and the trashcan. i don't think you needed those objects to show "streetness"...this really isn't a "street" type of shot anyway, because the environment seems to not be interacting with your subjects at all. |

You can actually see so much in his eyes, even though they're closed. |
