 I caught this couple choosing a Swiss watch. It's the only shot I could get as I was immediately told off by the staff. It's one of the reasons I like the picture: I felt like a tabloid photographer ! Notice how the partner scratches his neck: too expensive maybe ? Who knows ? I would have liked to get his face in.
I actually found it hard to select the final picture from my day snaps as they were all so different. It's not my favorite of the lot in terms of beauty and composition but it's the one which feels most candid.
I thought I would hate this challenge but I did enjoy it a lot.

i like how the photo seems to be split in 2,,,the watches then the black line of the showcase and then the girl and friend looking in...is the girl a bit out of focus?
