What a wonderful and funny picture! I love the expression on her face.

Yo Tristan!

Very funny picture, one of those priceless moments. The look on his face compared to the look on her face... those crazy Bulgarians. Maybe could have cropped the background out of the photo.

Comical and interesting photo. I like the mixed expressions on their faces. Nice use of B&W. The background is slightly distracting though. TFS.

Dirty old man! I like his style. I'd get a slap off my missus if I tried this :)

I like it. It makes me smile. I like the B&W. Nice lighting on their faces. I would crop it a bit. Otherwise, you caught a great classic moment.

you're unique Tristan;
that are the kind of photos I love,
these people are familiar with you and this feeling is very important with the photographers.
ciao

He: The life is so exausting, but there is her brest in lively matter.
She: Oh, what are you doing, don't be rough. I love you. You are the one, whatever happens, I love you.

Note: this are not typical Bulgarians. This is funny picture, but don't think the usual Bulgarians are drunk, durty and poor gipsy :)

hello Tristan, wonderful double portrait, very well executed! the rabbish bin makes it clear it was taken on a street, which is important. to those who are not so familiar with gyspies, to better understand this picture, I would suggest them to see some of the films made by the great film director Emir Kusturica.

It is also interesting to note some of the remarks made by other users, in particular those made by Lukie and Rallka, which, according to me, have judged the picture more on a social/moral point of view than other. In their comments, I would say there's also a little racism (unfortunately something very common among "normal" people toward gyspies). Just because the tenderness is expressed also by an innocent touch of breast, according to Luckie the man necessarily is drunk and there's no tenderness at all! while Rallka feels the need to underline to everybody that "don't think the usual Bulgarians are drunk, durty and poor gipsy".

Very beautiful and interesting picture...in my favourites!
thanks for sharing!
best regards
R.

The photo fits my definition of good portrait photography. It reflects beautifully real people, real feelings, real relations of real people -Roma in this particular case- in the Balkans; therefore bears great value. Keep up the good work, Tristan.
