| it's mildly distracting that the two people who seem to be the subject are partially blocked by those walking. Weren't people getting aggravated at going around them? |

This is definitely a candid shot, I like the fact everyone else is moving by quickly (and slightly blurred) to put the main subjects in focus. Is the woman really two-fisting Coronas? Their expressions are pleasant, which I believe to be important for candids, although the guy's nose bothers me, I can't tell if it is just the angle, or his expression, but something seems odd.
I would like to get a bit more of a connection with the subjects -- they just seem a little distant. A tighter crop might help with cropping out much of the passer-by on the right, but then you'd lose the dog. A slight vignette around the outside of the image might help draw the eye to the subjects. Or maybe a larger aperture (if you had one available) to isolate their faces a little more. Constrast and sharpness seem good, color is good (this might be a good one for B&W though).
Overall, I give it a 6. What keeps me from ranking it higher is the distance I feel with the main subjects, and their expressions aren't completely engaging. But I would have initially wanted to say 5, but the more time I spent with the image, the more I liked it.
Oh, and I don't know what Al Fresco means... I'll look it up :)

This comment courtesy the Viral Comment Experiment (VCE). The VCE is an experiment to see if a large number of quality comments can be generated in a fashion similar to chain letters. The first time you receive a VCE comment, randomly choose five (5) images from this challenge (or another challenge) and leave quality, useful comments/critiques like this one. Make sure to mention good things as well as bad things. Then, see how many you receive in return over the next few weeks. Make sure you copy this VCE notice at the end of each comment. [Obligatory chain letter threat] If you do not make five quality comments within 24 hours, your hard drive will crash and your camera's shutter will fail at an inopportune moment. |

| This is a strong moment, a closer crop and more sharpen in advanced editing, would have been right up there...good luck |

| i love the inclusion of the two walkers as well, but it would have been really nice to wait just a split second until you could see the whole of the woman as well. |

| I do like the communication between the couple. Wonder how this would look cropped in closer to them. |
