Great candid! He looks deep in thought about something. I think the black & white was an excellent choice for this shot, the border works nice too.

Wow! I've never seen a flower like this, it's so cool that it's circular. The leaves look really cool too, you did a great job processing this.

This is a terrific shot! I actually don't think the background is distracting at all, it gives you a feel for the restaurant & makes you fell like you are actually sitting next to this guy. I frequently find myself staring & mesmorized by people, I find people so fascinating. You really captured his emotions here, great shot & the B&W is perfect for this shot.

I agree, the softness of the photo works really well with the subject. These are beautiful flowers, so many colors! I like how they're all bright & then there's the darker purple ones in the background. Great shot!

We don't call it camera shake anymore, it's blur, and they're going to have a whole side challenge about it! 8)

Beautiful colors, and a beautiful composition. Good work.

Gotta agree with citymars he's thinking of a new bike! :)
A great shot, which I would consider street photography. I don't feel it's limited to just being outdoors, but anywhere out in public places, like café's, shops, parks etc as well as the streets.
I really like the background and find it adds to the shot rather than distracts, it gives you a sense of his environment. The bike over his head is my favourite element and adds a little quirkiness! The only thing I would maybe change is to rotate clockwise a bit, and crop the bit off the bottom. But that's just me! : )
Fantastic stuff, Leah! : )

great candid! i love the composition. they way he sits in the frame... searching outside of it for the answer to the unknown question. B&W works great!
