When we take a photo we normally ask the people to smile..So we get various facets of smile...This one for a difference shows a different facet..Do we call it shocked or jolted or sympathetic or disturbed...The last 3 on the extreme right are composed..May be there is no time to react..One of them, in fact is smiling

Classics are not created, its just born. This could be one of such rare incidence.

Do you remember Greta Friedman, the woman kissed by a sailor in the iconic picture taken in Times Square on V-J Day in 1945...She has died, according to her son Joshua Friedman.

Friedman, then 21 and a dental assistant, was in Times Square when the news of Japan's surrender to the United States was announced on a billboard, marking the end of the war.
"Suddenly, I was grabbed by a sailor," she told Veterans History Project in 2005. "It wasn't that much of a kiss. It was more of a jubilant act that he didn't have to go back."
The photo, taken by legendary photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt, was published in Life magazinea few weeks later. But the identities of the two people were a mystery.
It wasn't until 1980 when both Friedman and George Mendonsa, the sailor in the photo, were determined to be the couple in the photo.
"The reason he grabbed somebody dressed like a nurse, was that he felt so very grateful to the nurses who took care of the wounded," she told Veterans History Project.

Oh, Times Square is sui generis! The Revlon's "kiss cam" interactive billboard was not there then, hence the iconic photo captured for posterity! Thanks for sharing!
