Cute girl, reasonably good photojournalism.

Interesting interaction with the viewer. She is offering her waffle with an inviting smile and a hint of romance in the background. Good serendipity indeed, clear narrative. I'd say it goes beyond mere photojournalism into "street": flirtation from a first person perspective.

On the other hand, Ivo, did you really believe you had a chance with her? ;-(

No, I was not open to persuasion. Just before this shot I fell platonically in love with this girl:

Another cutie. Pretty good informal portrait.

Great eye contact.  I think one of the greatest pleasures about photographing people out and about in towns is the chance to interact with them.
