I love #1, especially if it's not heavily laden with Photoshop effects. Of course, "knowledgeable" people will assume that it is anyway . . .
I'd like to see all of these without the photoshop effects. This way they're not really street scenes - they're Photoshop scenes. If that's what you want to do, fine. But you've got a good eye, and I'd love to see what it sees before you start playing with the images.
Very cool. The last one made me chuckle! Can you tell me the process you used on #2. I really like it!
Thanks. All images were processed in Adobe Lightroom, using a variety of actions most notably the Wonderland 'BoonDoggle 2' action in all shots except the last one.

Where do you find that action? Googling didn't come up with anything...

my money well spent
Nikon D4, D3s, D3, D700, Nikkor 24-70, 70-200 2.8 vrII, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, 105mm macro, sigma fisheye, SB 800's and lots of other goodies!
I won't lie, I disagree with BD on these. I find the post effect distracting for the first one, but the others grabbed me irrespective of post. I especially like the last two.
I'd scale back the post effect of the first one. Perhaps blend with the original? Or take to B&W. It's an interesting candid portrait and deserves a more subtle treatment.
The last wants a deeper black. I don't know if you can do that in duotone.
Anyway, these are nits. Keep shooting and sharing!
Sorry. On vacation and posting from an iPhone. It's the BoonDoggle 2 preset off the Wonderland 3.0 Collection. I'll be on my laptop later and will post a link. I'm very happy with these presets for LR.
