well, after trying to dissect what makes pictures of faces to be portraits, I couldn't help but ask the same question about what makes a good street candid shot?
Many times I would pass an interesting activity, or scene on the street, I would love the emotion, the dynamics that I see and grab a camera only to have a boring and dull picture that doesn't bring out the subjects the way I remember them, so when I show this picture to others, all I get are confused looks: "...and you took this picture why?"
here is one example that I think i was able to get the mood that I felt - taken few years ago in Dominican republic:
Tell me what this picture tells you about the mood and emotion if any. I am biased since I know what I was trying to do here.
