Looks like a staged shot - but it is candid, unmanipulated.
A friend of mine, took one of the kids skateboards and was doing tricks down the street. Their eyes were on what was going on around. Two watching my friend, and the other talking to a young fellow who was passing behind me.
This is the area they were hanging out when we approached them. The boy in the back kept moving around - sometimes standing behind the boy on the left side. I waited or adjusted my position until I got this good symmetry (without giving any direction). In fact when the boy in front noticed I was taking a photo of him, he shyly turned away from me and that was the end of shooting. We then just watched together.
