Here are a few street photography images I shot while on a visit to the UK last year. They are all from Portobello Road (famous street antiques market). Hope you like them. The 1st is my favorite.

    Really nice images. The first one is really fantastic.

    Only 'wish' on the second one was that the white card wasn't in the frame. You have all those wonderful textures and then some sign cropping the top of his turban. It wouldn't have bothered me if it were some fabric, but it glares both in intensity and harshness of the edges. I do love the overall image though.

    Agreed on #2. But it seems like one of those things that you tend to miss (at least I do) when composing.

    Thanks

    Hi, Jonathan - I'd say you have three very nice, candid portraits here, and one strong street photo - the image of turbaned gent. There is something wonderfully odd about that one.clap.gifclap.gif
