Hi Frank thanks for explaining your feelings and how "it" happened. Maybe the dark clothes of the two men makes the picture feel a bit "unhappier" too :-) You sure have a big talent to see and feel for those "rare moments" or "loving moments", that's the most important point for me. Maybe a wider lens would help for sharper snapshots (or faster film), a 28mm instead of? Did you use a 50m or 35mm lens? *I* would not mind the grain of ISO 400 for this kind of photography. Better a grainy photo than a unsharp one, what do you think?
