Halcyon Days of a Youthful Sojourn

Comment:
there are several shots in this challenge that seem more like portraits than street photos. This one is right on the edge. I can just barely believe it is candid if I try real hard. but then I see what looks like eyeliner. but then I realize it's probably a woman, and women are known to wear eyeliner. but she is lit in such a flattering way, and is just too darn sharp. in fact, this looks like a cropped Larus portrait, and a Larus portrait is the opposite of street photography. Then again, crops are important, they redefine a photo. And unlike Larus, your OOF background has elements that seem relevant to the themes of the photo: that moon-like circle, what looks like a streetlamp, wise white trees, piled-up snow. There is no debating that this is a good photo, just if it's a street photo. If only the eyes weren't so darn pretty and the scarf and hat weren't so darn sharp. But then I see those wonderful blown highlights on the face and how that connects the face to the snow. It's almost like this was a collaboration between Larus and an artist, and the artist had the last say. Yes, I think the artist won, and if I were to hold sharpness against you, then I would be using criteria as arbitrary and style-defined as any other. Okay, the artist wins, you win. Yay art! 8

I want you to crouch just a little bit lower, so I feel like I'm in her world, on her street. 6

that filter goes against the spirit of street photography, imho. which is too bad, because the photo itself is right on target. 6

I bet you're getting dinged on this because it looks more like a portrait, and yes it is a portrait, but it's street, too. It's totally street. 8
