Eye of the cameraUse this board to post your photos and to tell us about the scene you set out to capture. Don't forget that the best place for *critique* in order see how your photography might be improved, technically, remains the Image Insight Photo critique board.
That lady is 'smiling' at you in that first picci. It's just that it isn't an overt 'smile'. She's kinda laughing inwardly at you. She's doing a good job of holding her laughter in too 'cos she's prolly too polite to burst out giggling in yer face.
I know about these things because I always, ALWAYS burst out laughing if I spot anyone pointing a camera at me. I just canna manage to control it like wot she's doing.
I love the second picci, very cheerful and happy.
I also like the last one and am glad to see someone 'snapped back' at you. You should've asked him to send you a print or post it here in DPN.
These make a great mini series with the theme you have chosen, each showing a different interpretation of the theme. The first lady is definitely suppressing a smile and I suspect the young boy meant to have his hand turned the other way! The chef may have been taking your picture, or he might just have been accepting a takeaway order!

Naah I reckon he's definitely taking Ian's picci and his colleague, the lady from the other window, has nipped inside for a laugh. You can see her behind the window and she laughing, as is the other chef.
Lots of us lasses collapse laughing when there's somebody pointing a camera in our direction.
