    If I had to choose it would be no 2.
    Mind sharing the focal length you like to use for the street ?

    Perhaps this needs not be said, but please do not let my recent meltdown deter you from commenting or not.

    At the moment I use a Canon QL17 (new in 1963), it has a fixed 40mm 1.7 lens.

    Thanks for asking :D

    I think Bob Seager was humming a tune back in 1963 .

    Thanks for the info.

    A tad before Bob made his mark but he was humming along.
    One big hit from '63 was "Andy Williams", "Can't get used to loosing You"
    There were of course other goodies but I'll bet you know why I choose this one :D

    The only one that kind of works for me is #1. Except for the guy walking out of the frame.

    None of them work for me Ben except #2, and that'd work better if the guy weren't sitting on that bench just behind the walker. Kertesz did something very similar to this, and you're on solid ground with what you tried to do. The problem with #1 is composition. As Liz said, everybody's clearing off to the left in the left side of the frame and there's nothing in the right side of the frame to balance the thing. The light's good in that one, though. #3 is just two back-lighted people on the street talking to each other.

    Agree and disagree.
    #1 & #3 are coming up craps :D
    However in my defense there are four people in 3 mwink.gif

    #2 is my Fav and parly because of the kid on the bench headscratch.gif

    I enjoy going out in strong light to find shadows, but in these cases they aren't quite strong enough or communicative for me. Of the set, the second is probably closest as the shadow is almost a character in itself.
