Bonjour Daniel!
Merci pour votre soutenir et conseil.  Je volonte rester!

I like the way that no-one seems bothered by the fact you have a camera
practically right up in front of them.  I find a lot of people are
intimidated by the sight of one.  As soon as they see a camera, they
tense up and watch every move the photographer is making.  Especially
when you are so close to the subject.  You have a special talent in
making people relax and be themselves.  This is hard when it comes to
street photography.  C'est tres bien.
Helen

I have been also surprised ! I set the Daniel's opacity to 0 % :)

Right. But the manner of the photographer is also important. I never
try to hide
my camera when I took pictures. Sometimes it's hard and sometimes it's
easy.
These day it was easy ! :)

Good capture of the moment. The contrast
is quite high between the shadows and
the window in the background. But you
were able to keep the shadows from
filling in the face of the standing girl.
Not an easy thing to do with a blasting
window in the background. In the
print I would have burned in the window
some more, if possible, to eliminate
the bright distraction.
 The image makes me wonder about
what the girl sitting is about to say or
what was just said to her by the other
woman. Waitress to customer? Some
ones lover confronting the other woman?
Great stuff for many stories from one
image.

Good work Daniel. Keep it up. Being
invisable with a camera is the mark
of a great street photographer.

Getting even isn't good enough.

In the coffee the light is very poor.
Hard to manage.

Right

It's the main point, the story !
Each one can imagine one story.

The face of the standing face is too dark,
in my opinion.

Right, why not  :)

Another potentially nice scene ruined by bad lighting.
The bright areas distract the eye away from the center(s) of interest.
The lack of shadow detail caused by the overly high contrast
exacerbates the problem.

Lighting conditions were very hard, right.
