Some street shots from the last few months

[Marko]

I find lovely little details in every image - wonderful set. Some standouts for me are;

Post 1 Shot 1 It's your overall winner - that's clear to my eye at least.
The dreamy stare of the child against the darker reality of the man at right - love it.

Post 1 shot 2 also taken at that decisive moment - I dig the gestures/masks combination.

Post 2 shot 1 - compliments Post 1 Shot 1 - The combination of eyes in the balloon, the tension on the clutched bear and the curious child's eyes works big time.

well done sir!

This is some impressive street photography imho.

All of the B & W shots appeal to me, but especially Set 1 photo 1 and the Second post for the reasons Marko mentioned. Some of the subtle inclusions such as the guy on the right in shot 1 and the photos in the background in shot 4 are very effective to me.

RM, I appreciate your time to look and your kind comments.

Thank you Marko. i really appreciate your comments!

my pleasure - it's a fine post!
I do have a small niggle on shot 4 post 1 - let me know if you'd like me to name it....given that you have "Only critique photos posted in the critique forum" checked.
Cheers!

Sure Marko. I have no problem with some constructive criticism. I’d like to hear it.

Sure - In post 1 shot 4 (fab shot BTW) the magic for me is in the eyes of the musician versus the eyes of the framed woman in the headscarf.
I know you are a deliberate framer...maybe there was a distraction...But you cut through her face a bit. I think I'd like to see 2 more inches on that left side...maybe until the white matting if that was possible... to reveal a bit more of the woman, so the juxtaposition becomes more apparent. (maybe you even have a wider version).
If for whatever reason you hate that idea or don't have it wider - perhaps a 10-20% dodge in the head scarfed face might also help. Or maybe you just wanted it this way, it does add a bit of tension.
Just a few thoughts - wonderful image no matter what.

Sorry, I'm tipping my hat to myself a bit as I feel good for guessing correctly on what Marko was going to suggest. I loved how that woman seemed to echo the position of the musician since her hands were up much like his.
