Description I stopped and watched these two people just dancing on the street...they had a little boombox stereo playing some very nice dance music of a variety of genre's. Just the looks on their faces are amazing. They're so caught up in their little moment, that I don't think they even noticed the people crowding around them.

This was taken in Paris, France, about a year ago. Never got around to submitting it.

I was on the same boat as you just a few days ago..I was in Paris, trying to take people photos, but it's just so hard, once they see you it ruins the moment, doesn't it? With that fact I must say this is a good photo. I strive to get something even half as good as this when it comes to being unnoticed.
great shot!

Okay, apparently Paris contains some of the best photo ops imaginable, like, ever, and everything is timeless and perfect-looking. Or is that just me? This is one of those shots I just didn't know could possibly be taken candidly anymore. I mean, naturally... it's fabulous.

I'm glad you like it. And it's pretty much true; almost every photo opportunity in Paris was perfect.

A good shot, however doomed because of the feet-cutting.

Yeah, comments are on. If you had dopped the frame a bit, it would be like you were leading them. Like he was following you, and she was following him. I think it is a very cool photo nonetheless. Great shot.

I like it, I'd like it more if the feet and elbow weren't clipped but the composition is really good. I like the concentration on their faces. Nice work!

The idea is nice and the focus is right on, but the composition is simply not strong enough.

I tried; one can only do so much when trying to be inconspicuous, you know
