| I agree with posthumous! The Doisneau shot was posed and this one has every right to be - who are we to say that posing is against the nature of street photography? I like it. |

| sorry, but you deserve your score. This is WAY TOO CLEVER for DPC, a satirical comment on just how much of what is considered classic "street" or "candid" photography was actually posed. I gave it a 7. Even I underrated it. |

Well, if it's the picture "Kiss at City Hall" or "Le Baiser de l'Hotel de Ville" you had in mind (which I presume it is) it is not by Cartier-Bresson but by Robert Doisneau - and it's one of my all time favourite pictures (and as far as I know it's one of the highest priced photographs ever: It was sold for about 240.000 USD in 2005)...
Anyway, your picture doesn't come close to Doisneaus - it looks "staged" and doesn't have the feeling of "candid shot" which I believe a picture like this should have. (It has been suggested that Doisneau's picture is staged as well - and it might be. But it doesn't seem to be, and that's what's important). |

| The anacronistic touch of a guy on a cell phone is nice. |

Great shot. I like how you can tell they're just average people. He doesn't look comfortable. She doesn't look comfortable. Her shirt's pulling up to reveal a stomach that's developing into a gut. It's great to see average, everyday people in love. Wonderful. I dig it.

| Cartier-Bresson or Doisneau's Kiss at the Hotel de ville or possibly Eisenstadt's famous vj day image, Sailor Kissing Nurse? |

| more like a tribute to Eisenstaedt or Jorgensen. Though no one really seems to be caring perhaps that's what you feel is Cartier-Bresson like about it. i'm just not feeling a connection with the couple and there isn't a dog looking up at them to make it funny. |

| This is a nice concept but I think the whole shot should be in focus. Maybe shoot at a smaller aperature. |

The famous V-J Day image was shot in Times Square by Alfred Eisenstaedt, not Cartier-Bresson:
Not that it matters to the quality of the image, mind you, just a footnote for ya :-) |

| A little forced and the sweatshirted man in the background is far too intrusive to make this one work for me. |

| I don't think the photo you're emulating here was by Cartier-Bresson... |
