At least I didn't get any ones!!
Waiting for better weather would have been smart.
But I really missed on the processing. Live and learn.
Thanks for the comments.

I like this Penny.

Ok, the doctor in me forces my eyes to look at why she has more swelling in one ankle than another (usually not good) but, if I force myself out of the professional role, I really like the character of this shot.

Well captioned also ...

Shadows and textures and contrast, oh my... I wonder who or what she's waiting for...

I'm not much into poetry (that could change) but for some good street poetry check out Frank O'Hara's Lunch Poems -- poems written during his lunch hour in and around the streets of Manhattan.

The image is excellent. Quite a character study! The void to the right really forces the eye back to your subject. Nice framing too. The big square crop really works.

Way cool light! Three people here - the real one, the one shadowed on the real one, and the mysterious other person shadowed on the wall.

This is a photo that begs the question "Who is she?" On closer look I see she has a pen in hand and is writing something. Could she be an artist like yourself? Maybe writing some 'street' poetry as you capture street photos?

I'm torn on what's going on here I can't decide whether she(?) is at the end of a day where things didn't go well, or just about to start off on a long day she isn't looking forward to.

The location looks isolated, yet here you have a performer who you would expect to find in a busy shopping area or some other bustling part of town, makes we wonder about the setting in general.

Great capture, leaves me with many questions!
