That's a very fine photograph. Spectacularly lovely tones. Maybe that's Leica-only territory?

Funny, that comment by Paul GeneralE about the top corners, because I much prefer them the way they are: looking out. That's probably because I always like to consider the parts of a picture that might lie outside the frame; it's very often more interesting that way with street photography.

The nine photographs are interesting and attractive in themselves, but I do see the evidence of your recent observation about street photography being in your view primarily an observational genre. I don't agree with that passive and objective approach myself (because I think it necessarily produces limp – or at least passive – pictures), but I reckon that I'm in the minority even among street photographers. But your photography is, as ever, technically and aesthetically superb. Thank you.

Comment by GeneralE:
A fine example of the diversity all around us ... I like the variety of perspectives and the square crop works well.

On a second third look I would probably have switched positions between the top corner photos in the composite, so that the main characters would be looking "in" rather than out, although I know that's just the "standard" approach ...

Surreal. I love the composition and the angles of all the elements. The film-like grain and muted colors give it a great sense of time and place

This is by far the best image in the challenge... sure thing to win the blue with the judges, and probably with the voters. Well done on a great entry! A 10 from me.

Very Melethia-like, which is a compliment regardless of whose it is.

I'd say a good idea shot using the window as a frame and the sign out of focus.
