Hi Paul,
you really caught the moment!
However, of course it's not kind having taken the young ladies like
this. I hope you talked to them afterwards and asked politely for
permission to show it on the web.
In a german photo forum, there is a recent thread about street
photography, photographers's rights, and of course, politeness and
social behaviour WRT images of people.
Don't get me wrong, I love taking people, known or foreign, in intimate
moments. I think it's just a matter of respect letting them know and ask
for their permission, at least afterwards.
The other day at an eshibition opening, I saw a woman trying to take
photos with her digi, and couldn't resist to taking a little movie of
her and her efforts. Obviously, she was fighting with her cam to focus,
as the picture was in neon pink and yellow, which seemed too much for
her camera. I told her, and she was happy to get the film and the
pictures I had taken, so everything was fine. I hope you get the point.
Cheers,
Pancho

Hope this helps chase any negative feelings out of the list. Shot on a
walkaround this afternoon with the DA 16-45/4. f4, 1/90 ISO 200, 45mm.
For extra points. What kind of car is that in the background? I have to
admit I didn't even notice it until I looked at this photo.
