I'm really kicking myself for not giving this a 10 now - it's my favourite in the challenge. Odd how some photos 'mature'.
Maybe not the most obvious or typical representation of candid, but a photo with a whole lot of atmosphere.
to me looks more like a street shot than a candid as we cant really share the moment with them since we cant see their faces, like the pov though and angle adds some energy

There's a powerful sense of Ennui here, and somehow your bonkers focus and composition is echoed nicely in that street sign - like those moments when the brain just refuses to fire up, and one just stands and stares, and everything seems like it ought to be meaningful if only one could bring some interpretation to it.
Strangely when I opened this my initial reaction was really negative, but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. Definitely captured an everyday moment, but the richness of your tones and contrasts in the B&W bring this to another level. Strangely lovely!!
I really want the focus to be on the people and not on the side walk before them. however, I do like the black and white treatment here. Very nice tones.
