I agree. I think my mistake was made at the time I took the shot. I should have point metered instead of averaging. I tried adjusting in post but to no avail.
That was what I was trying for. The girl is my daughter and the guy her 4th grade crush. I was trying to document the moment and pull out a subject in the midst of a crowd.
looks like LONDON -- can see Lambeth Palace tower on the left-- many Chinese get wedding photos taken in London but when I did weddings all they wanted to do was to get to the BAR and FOOD and not worry too much about PHOTOS!!
Wow !! A COMMENT at last !! I never get any 'comments' on this site -- I was thinking it was a waste of time posting ! In reply : the LENS used is WRONG somehow in the details -- it was my 180mm f4 CFi Sonnar T* NOT the 80mm so I was further away than 3 meters.
Regarding COLOUR -- it was on E6 transparency film which I do NOT process myself so take it to a lab. I DO process a lot of my C41 to 'Exhibition Size' 16x12 inches but for small 6x4" I take films to a lab on our town main street where they do an excellent job with colour balance and C41 negative quality. In Philippines, Cebu Images Camera Club friends use labs in Cebu City -- I had some E6 done once many years ago but their C41 quality is not so good !
Nice candid (nice colors as well- its subtlety dark). For me, I am starting to think that street photography could be more natural with a longer lens. Everyone says 35mm or 50mm. I only own two lenses and once you compute the crop factor I basically am shooting with a 50mm and a 135mm (the lenses are a 35mm and a 100mm on a 1.6x sensor). I keep wondering what it would be like shooting the streets with something between 70-90mm. You were standing - I’m guessing - about three meters from the subjects in this shot?
I do have a second question for you here, Pete. You shot color film, do you process your own film? Or do you send out? I’m actually thinking of buying a film camera (M7) and I see a lot of write ups on processing B&W but nothing on color. I am fine if it were just B&W but if I ever picked up a roll of Color I worry I would not be able to process it here in the Philippines (especially in the remote part where I live).
When a well-known Brasilian landscape photographer is visiting you, the least you can do is to show him the surroundings of you'e homepace.
With thanks to Paulo Stein.

Thanks for the comments...Ok, here goes
The photo was taken in one of Melbourne's city theatre/club "The Butterfly" https://thebutterflyclub.com
The girl is a model, while a guy was one of the waiters, who kindly agreed to pose for a shot or two.There was one whireless speedlight/umbrella to the left of the setting. Hope this helps :)
Thanks for the reply. For the longest time I imagined it a waiting room in a brothel or some other place. Although this was staged, it looks like a scene captured spontaneously. Great shot !

Could you provide a little story behind this photo? It's such an interesting picture. I am trying to figure out if it is a staged shooting or a real setting.

Thanks, Walter. In all honesty, the light on the white snow was soft, so I did not have to do much to make it look reasonable. Thanks for taking the time to comment - I appreciate it!
