Such pomp and silliness, I never said this photograph was street photography. You and David decided to critique it as though it were. I guess that's because it's a picture of people taken outside. It's a shot I took while trying out my 135/2.5 at a farmer's market. That's all it purports to be. I find the smiles on the faces of the women pleasant. Others may not., That's okay.
