On the train from Maastricht to Brussels, I noticed an elegant French lady in a black hat and dress sitting on the opposite seat. I probably wouldn't dare take a photo of her on her own, but once I noticed a cute little child in the neighbouring compartment look my way, I knew that the juxtaposition is just too good not to at least try to capture it. Still, I regret a bit that I didn't manage to show also the mysterious lady's hands, in which she held an open passport, that she intermittently used as a fan.

Finally, I ended up taking two slightly different shots:

On this one, she probably senses being photographed, but pretends not to notice, while the child is being thrown into the air, laughing ecstatically.

In the second take, she finally acknowledges the presence of my camera, but looks more with amused curiosity than hostility. The child seems to be at least equally curious.

I have subsequently asked the lady if she minds that I took a few photos of her, and she said she doesn't. However, I didn't go as far as get her name or address where I could send it.

Maybe you can help me decide with your comments / votes which of these two shots do you think conveys a stronger atmosphere of the moment?
