Man, these guys look like pizza guys, and that just made me very hungry. I like all the detail that you captured in the stonework and I also like the expressions on there faces as well. Thanks for sharing this wonderful photo and I am now heading for the kitchen to find some food.

That is the very essence of "street photography". What a great shot!

OH.... what a great photo that captures the life of a true Italian. I can almost smell the fresh baked breads and the homemade tomato sauce aromas filling the air of the cobblestone streets. Great candid shot!

I really like this. Lots of stuff going on and the contrast between the old building and the bright whites they're wearing.

I agree with the others that you did a good job capturing the "Italy feeling" But I might like it even more if you cropped out the guy to the left. He's not adding much. And if you did that (square crop perhaps) the gaze of the others might become more dynamic and the shot more open. I would love to see that version!

Thanks for looking and you comments, I will try that.
I have made an other picture without the guy standing, perhaps I should post that one too

I concurred with Tuner's comments. This is indeed street photography at its natural best. The subject(s) are in their natural pose, and this shot was taken very candidly.
The colours are nice and like someone mentioned the "Italian feeling" is there too.
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers.

Still very new to making street shots (or actually still very new to photography in general ). But somehow it is fun to do, especially when you manage to shoot people in their natural pose!
