Title is "Best Friends Forever". In my candids and street photography I don't like to crop up tight. I believe it should tell a story, along with the expressions. Thanks for the comments and voting.....Joe

this works. The moment looks as if the closer person is abou tto turn around but doesn't want you to see. the comp is great and the focus is spot-on. The only thing that make is less classic is the starbucks sign because this could be anywhere any time - except there's the starbucks - not that there's anything wrong with strarbucks ;P 8
Not sure what the title means (hope I am not being stupid) but I do think this is a lovely candid and you have captured a wonderful expression in the girls face
crop right down to it, we don't need to know it's starbucks - that doesn't strengthen your story. From the umbrella stand over, and from the bottom of the umbrella down makes this a full 2 points stronger in my book. 6
Strange. Having found such a scene, a moment, and then to undermine the entire faux-pictorial concept with that strange echo of the corpocratic world top right. Great job of pointing us one way only to deliver the solar-plexus blow with the hidden hand. It turns her from a pleasant looking girl having a giggle in a coffee shop into a victim, somehow.
