How interesting! I really like this. I really like the way you have created the border to continue the black in the image and to balance the composition. I like the bold colors and the geometry. And I really like the light. The composition is outstanding. I like the perspective of the huge shark and large person in the foreground with the small ship and very small person in the background. Marvelous image.

I like the action and the rain. And I like the b&w conversion and contrast. I really feel for her. I think in her situation I would have headed for that open door.

First there is a fountain then there is no fountain, then there is...

From the standpoint of Street Photography, the person on the left gives the image action and humanity, however outside the confines of the challenge topic, I would prefer the composition without the figure. I like the large oval of the fountain filling the width of the frame, and I like the repeating yellows of the lights, building, tree, and fallen leaves. The dull light gives it an interesting atmosphere.

Whose Only

It's interesting that I feel there is more human interaction in this shot than in your outtake. There are as many people in the outtake, but I think the cars distract from them.

As with the other shot, I really like the color in this shot, especially the reflected color on the pavement. And while I usually don't like all the electrical equipment in a photo, you have so much of it here that it becomes an interesting feature -- the overhead traffic lights and the row of arched street lamps. The more I look at the shot, the more I find to like about it.

Poverty, Lately it's everywhere you look

I think the composition and subject are very good, but personally I don't like the yellow cast. It's quite sad to see him all bundled up and sleeping in what appears to be broad daylight. This is poverty for sure.

Ooo, what a great image. I love the soft focus and sketchy feel of this. It's rather like a charcoal drawing. Beautiful light and shadows.

Great focus -- wonderful clarity to the eyes and texture in the hair. I like the partial desat. This is a fun photo and a really cute boy. He's right about the Halloween look. That is the first thing I thought when I saw it.

Sax Player

I really like your b&w conversion -- great contrast. The shine on the sax is really nice. The background is so busy, that I am surprised you were able to isolate the subject. As it is, the background adds interest and texture to the image. Well done. And you had a good time as well!

Clive, A Genuine Homeless Person,With his Worldly Possessions.

The poverty really wasn't captured in the photo. This could be any old man with a walker having a day of fishing in his retirement. That says a lot for Clive. He has managed to maintain his dignity under his extreme conditions. His clothes are clean and neat and his possession are in a neat little duffel. He could be any one of the myriad of old retirees here in Florida. I hope you give his a copy of this excellent portrait. I think he would treasure it.

Leave it to you to make a pile of trash, a broken wall, and weeds into an interesting and even cheerful image. I like the broad black borders, they give the image the contrast it needs.
