This photo was nothing, but pure good luck! I was standing with my daughter at Prague railway station and this couple was engaged in something very emotional just next to us and I took my camera, pointed it to my daughter, than changed it´s direction a little - and clicked. I must say that the guy looked pissed off when he noticed me, but I immediately turned to my daughter, showed her the taken photo in my camera and said laudly - "Look, it will be perfect photo, you look so great here!" So I confused him, and I still feel a little bit guilty, though I consider this photo as the best one from my galery.

Thank you very much, reading your comments makes me feel like going to streets and click much more!
I haven´t been very active last time, my daughter had my camera for many weeks, preparing herself to the selection exam to the secondary school - specialization for photography, where is very difficult to get at, and - she DID it!!!

Wow, congrats to your daughter - so you've passed on your passion for photography to her too!! This is wonderful!
Yes, I've seen you've not been too active, but I hope you'll post more photos soon! I don't know which I prefer, your landscapes or your street photography. I guess I love both equally, it's just totally different. Your landscape have a very specific magic and your street scenes "tell" stories - they go straight to my heart. I hope you'll make more !!...

Vau, děkuji za nádherný komentář, moc si toho vážím a opravdu mě velice potěšil!
Já jsem teď hodně začala fotit lidi, napřed jsem pořád fotila přírodu, ale tohle je mnohem silnější, je to už vášeň. Strašně moc obdivuju žánr "Street fotografie" a pokouším se o něj taky.

jo, to poznam, taky sme dlouho fotila jen prirodu makrem, jenze, mne to uz trochu prestalo bavit jako kdysi. toto leto sme sa dala na umelecky foteni nebo momentky

Ta je skvělá. Tak nenuceně mě navádí k tomu hádat, o čem se zrovna asi bavili? Moc hezká fotka. Takové okamžiky zachytit, to je ono !

Stála jsem hodně blízko, dělala jsem, že fotím dceru a oni byli hned za ní, takže se mi povedlo tohle vyfotit, říkám si, že to vůbec není špatný nápad brát si na street toulky asistenta, i když tohle bylo naprosto neplánované.

To bude mít tvá dcera hodně fotek, tuším

Právěže vůbec, ona strašně nesnáší když ji někdo fotí a když s ní někam jdu a dělám u toho street fotky, tak se za mě strašně stydí.

I like the title. Otherwise, you have not quite "owned" the picture and nice for the artist to show her/his imaginings. Who knows, if you didn;t think "O maybe bad news!" you may not even have taken the photo... which is just lovely.

Thank you Lina so very much for your comment! I found out, that street photography has really very strict rules, it almost scares me, Kyle made me think a lot about it...

This is just my opinion and i don't want to upset but I don't see a problem with posting it, it just the title, a great street shot shouldn't even need a title to evoke thoughts and feeling and without yours this could just be a couple standing close to each other.
I mentioned the mobile cause I see couples standing like this every time I go out on the streets, man on mobile other half deep in thought a million miles away but I'm only making this up with regards to your shot cause I cant see a mobile.
I do like the look on the lady face and the closeness of the couple but the man for your shot doesn't add to your chosen title there is no form of expression on his face, who has delivered this bad news possibly why i thought mobile.
I think that's the problem you have forced a emotion with your title that isn't overly obvious, you cant really figure out whats going on but you have stated bad news.
Unfortunately we cant see what happened when you where standing there watching the scene unravel, its more personal to you rather than the end viewer.
I would like to see the rest of the body language without the square crop.
I think if they saw it and the title they might be angry cause bad news might not be the case but don't feel bad because you posted it, Street Photography is a great genre of photography to pursue but when it comes to emotions and taking pictures of situations like this i would say stay true to the moment and let it speak for itself that way you wouldn't question yourself.

I agree with you that it isn´t fair to impose my view and my personal opinion to the others by the title and it isn´t fair in face of this couple as well, I didn´t realise it before and now would be much happier if the title was just “A Couple” or something like this, but I don´t think that this picture would be absolutely uninteresting without the title and as you are saying “just a couple standing close to each other”
I think, that expressions in their faces evoke thoughts and feelings even without the title, but of course I respect your opinion and don´t think that it is the best photo in the world, although I personally love it.
And as for cropping, I used 50 mm lens and was standing really close, so it wasn´t possible to take more of their bodies and I cropped the pic just on sides.

Cool nice to have more than just, this is a great picture conversation, I agree there is something in this picture for me it the woman her thoughts are on another planet even when being so close to the man, that's what I can see without title and without background details.
Take care and keep on shooting Street Alzbettta.

Yes, it´s nice to exchange opinions, however it sometimes can be painful for our egos.
And thank you, I am a beginner, but I will continue on Street, for me it´s the most exciting genre in photography.

Why presume such a thing and give a title like bad news anything could be going on he could be on his mobile phone and she could be waiting for the conversation to finish.
Ive been reading the comments and you stated that you have a problem with to post or not to post if that the case then why make up the emotions to a scene that you really don't know whats going on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don´t know what they were speaking about, but I know it was very emotional talk, as I was standing and waiting for the train with my family just several steps next to them for quite a long time. They were so close, that I could see their uneasiness, and he wasn´t speaking to the mobile, he was scratching on his head. So thats why I used this title „Bad news“.
I have visited your gallery and must say that you are excellent street photographer with much experience and I would like to know your opinion about this thing of posting such emotional moments.
Deeply in my mind I feel that it isn´t ethically ok, I am sure, they would be angry if they saw this photo, but at this case my selfishness won. I consider this picture the best in my gallery (just my opinion), it´s my closest street photo (I could take it thanks the fact that I was pretending taking pic of my daughter) it´s full of emotions, the boy and girl are beautiful like film actors and the situation evokes thoughts and feelings and from these reasons I love it and it was very difficult for me not to post it.

Wonderful capture of emotion. You can see almost feel the somber moment. The light BG creates great focus on the darkness of the subjects.

Thank you Tim. Yes, I can feel it too, it´s probably the strongest street moment I have captured yet and I had some problems with my conscience if to post it, or not. This is exactly what fascinates me on Street, but I still have many doubts, if it´s ok to show so private emotions... I ve been trying to get some conclusion which would direct me on the way, where I won´t be feeling that I am doing bad thing.

I feel what you mean as I also struggle with it. I have a lot of street photos of people but have not posted them because of the right or wrong struggle. I kind of feel like a paparazzi when shooting them. I hope you can find the answer you are looking for.
