    They all work for me in one way or another, but I think the second, third, and fourth are the strongest. Love the shot of the shooter, with all that weirdness going on. And the musician and young woman form a wonderful image. The last one would be better if he were headed UP that street, rather than being at the bottom of the hill. rolleyes1.gif

    I like #4; all those shadows & things. It would have been nice to have had another shooter (a kid perhaps) taking the same shot of the second ice-cream eater; shame that the kid's in the shade. The shadow on the trash-bin reminds me of "The Wrong Trousers".

    I thought the mannequin in #1 was holding a guitar, then I realized it's a handbag "…a handbag??

    Nice job! thumb.gif

    Thanks, Dan and Wil. Yeah, I wish the kid in #4 hadn't been in the shade and blocked by the street thingy, but so it goes. The photographer was actually shooting the guy on the right when the woman and kid walked into the scene with their ice cream cones. He was probably less happy with the situation than I was. rolleyes1.gif

    Number 3! Love it, lots of contrast in the processing and great mood! Number 4 is just a fun conglomeration...everytime I look at it I find something else to smile about. Even the shadows add to the scene. thumb.gif

    Great series of photos - each one tells its' story immediately. IMHO street photography as it should be.

    Nice set overall - even if unrelated.

    Richard,
    I like the last two best, but all five of these have layers of information. Nice work.

    Love #4 – I bet that other photog got a great shot too.
    And I also thought of “The Wrong Trousers” on #4.

    I don't want the cheese, I just want to get out of the trap.
