Michelle's challenge..." I challenge you to do street photography with candid shots of people". I haven't done any of that for a while and it was doubly exciting as my Christmas present arrived 2 days ago - a 55mm lens for my Sony. I was only at the next table but he didn't spot me.

@psychegrrrl Many thanks for this challenge Michelle - fabulous challenge to sneakily try out my new lens.

The colourful backlighting works well. He looks rather serious.

[Simply Amanda]

Yeah for an amazing Christmas presents. Keep the street shots coming!!! He looks upset.

[Gail]

I like the juxtaposition of the bright "happy" background and the very grumpy guy! Congrats on the new lens!

[Nancy]

[Bill Fenske]

[Pat Knowles]

He looks half asleep so not surprising! Curious....wonder if he is asleep?

[Rachel Withey]

Fantastic candid - enjoy the new lens

[Michelle]

Great shot, I love how it's colourful. You do have to be sneaky when you do street photography don't you?

[Harry J Benson]

nice street candid

[Joan Robillard]

Fun to get away without being seen. Good shot and the lens must be great fun to get your Phojo going.

[Margaret Obey]

Super candid. I've never managed to get so close!

[Rachel]

Really nice candid shot.

[Lindy]

I think that his friend was organising the bill and trying to charge him too much. Love those doors in the background.

[vic faizey]

Really nice colours

[Krista Marson]

great candid and the way you processed it really pops.

[Richard Sayer]

Hey Joy, that's a great Christmas present - with the 35mm you already had you now have a great street photography tool: small, compact, light, discreet, quiet... and very high quality. I'm intrigued - where did you take this photo?

[Jocasta]

@vignouse I wish I could tell you that we had supper in a little French bistro in Paris - sadly not - it's Cafe Rouge at Salford Quays.

[Gwenllian]

Nice one! Enjoy the new lens.
