Didn't get the shot I had in my mind so took to just some random shots of people around the old town of Edinburgh. This was taken on the Victoria Road balcony (or something slong that line). decided to enter since I'm trying to be more active despite not getting the shot i wanted

"The watcher" is a very cool shot for the Street Photography challenge. Excellent choice shooting in black and white. Looking at the other two photos that you have posted I would agree with you and say this was the best choice for the challenge.
I really like the length that you were able to create with the architecture. I think it is really cool how the patio is breaking up the levels of the building. The lighting looks pretty good, I am sure you were not able to avoid the building shadow that is cast across the frame. I would be curious to see the shot if we were able to increase the contrast a little bit. Overall I think you did an excellent job, especially in finding a subject that is a little different from everyone else's. Nice work!
Edinburgh?
Probably not! But looks like it.
Really nice point of view.
Works in B&W but i would like to see the colour version. If it is Edinburgh i think the lower buildings are really nice colours.
Good luck
I love it.
