They look thrilled. The skin tones look a little blotchy or red to me, and if i knew how to fix i would. (I always convert to bw just to escape!) Good capture. karmat

This is a good candid and it meets the challenge. Your subject is not particularly 'inspiring' overall... The 'wow' factor is just not here... This challenge required some deep thought for sure :) - 5 - jmsetzler

thanks to all for the great comments here.
I readily admit the photo has a "busy" background. Walmart has the odd policy about letting you take things without paying for them. :-)
I took the picture with the bike on the rack. It was cropped to emphasize the one bike as well as possible. I am learning plenty about presentation here.
