My theme is red for the March side challenge.

It wasn't my intention to post images including my shadow but here is another.

another dynamic composition. this is essential. otherwise the red will seem gratuitous. You're doing a good job so far.

I like the three very different reds in this shot.

I think every element is important here. Aside from the shades of red, the shadows have impact compositionally and contextually. And I like the echoed circles from the fruit in the bag, to the bag itself, to the shadow of subject's head, to the manhole cover, to the fire truck wheel. They're unifying elements that might work only on a subconscious level until noticed or pointed out. Terrific!

I feel there is too much red. Three subjects with clashing colors. What is the primary subject? What story are you telling? My eye goes to the bag, then to the other red objects, and the photo remains unresolved. If the bag is the focal point, I think the impact would be greater if the fire engine and jacket were desaturated.

I like how red this is (coat and cover included), and the shadows elevating it to the next level up.

What I like here is the vibrant chord of color. Along with red is orange and yellow, and the wine dark red of the coat as a bass note. The shadows of the people and the light post with its signs are strong, the background chorus in counterpoint.

Do not omit your shadow. Here it makes the photo. I like this a lot also.
For my taste I would not like to see the red too much enhanced to the point of de-saturating the rest. You achieved the perfect balance so that's why they make so much impact.

Interesting viewpoint, kind of makes you wonder what's in her bags. The red adds a nice touch.

Another cracker Henry, you’re holding that camera with more finesse than she’s holding that bag. The crop is just fine with me, wouldn’t change a thing.

I see what you're saying but I find her hand and the fire truck important elements. Street photography should show the environment and not a detail in isolation. At least these are the most rewarding shots for me. The challenge is in finding the proper compromise between simplicity and complexity.
