This is my girl!

I would not have noticed her no would I have taken this picture of her if it wasn't for her dad. The girl was walking ahead of her parents, very relaxed, the mother was looking around also very relaxed. But the dad did not look happy and was tense. He was giving this look to anyone who looked in the direction of his daughter. I just had to take this picture of them because of the dad. I do not know if it captures how on guard he was and his reaction at least a little because I saw it in person and I cannot see this picture separately from that experience.

In Brasov, Transylvania, Romania

You are far more at ease with photographing strangers than I am.

I agree with you - I get nervous that the people will get annoyed at being photographed..

I am quite amazed at your Eastern European..pictures....i still think of the region with horse and cart and ladies in long black dresses with head scarfs...

They have some of that too in the villages but it is disappearing fast.

It's probably part protecting his daughter and part annoyance at being dragged out to shop with the wife and daughter.

So, that's a Transylvanian girl, huh?

I think they were tourists, whether from Transylvania, elsewhere in Romania or from abroad I am not sure.

I guess you could tell by what language they might have been speaking, or their accents?

They weren't talking. The daughter was walking a bit ahead alone, the parents, a couple of steps behind. All in complete silence.
