It appears she's enjoying the experience (or coffee)..

I would have lifted the exposure a bit during post processing..

This is a really cool shot. It's awesome that she smiled for it.

I was thinking the same thing...on both notes.

Turn down the contrast down a lot. The light in this image is either very dark or very bright - hardly any midtones. Review your histogram when developing digital files for better looking photos.

because of the harsh spot lights and the patchy ambient lighting inside the coffee shop it was pretty difficult to balance the mood!
I wasn't getting any kind of surface reflection from the objects (as they tend to be dark coloured!) and I think the lighting highlights the subject of the image nicely!

Thanks for the criticism though, I appreciate your comment :)

Excellent shot and it's a wonderful smile from a stranger in London (or for that matter any major city!).

Nice shot. The smiles makes a big difference here.

A fine candid.

Always a thrill to get the result.

Being a beautiful subject doesn't harm the image either;)

i dont know if its PP or just the shot but theres no glare on her face with makes this shot even better!

her smile is also amazing! if that was here, you would see either a scowl or a finger! haha!

nice capture in every aspect!
