    Love the colours in this. It would be nice to have the bikes a bit bigger in the frame, but that's just the way it works in real life.

    Thanks, it’s all about colours. A split second passed, and the frame changed – still all about colours.

    This one is rather enigmatic. I love it!

    Are photos taken from a street but without people in them considered street photography?

    I was sitting on a bench, trying to take advantage of an interesting moment of light, when this couple stood just in front of me, blocking the framing. And when I was starting to curse my luck, they gave me this nice scene of complicity...

    I find this to be a good use of B&W.

    It's not just the color, I think the scene has a good dynamism, with the movement of the bus, cyclist and pedestrian in different directions. And I also like how the bus and its reflection confine the scene in a certain way...

    😃 Yes, there are other elements, but I suppose it’s a colour-dominant photo. Nowadays, I’m much more inclined to colour than I was before.

    The first one has a nice architectural background and good lighting, which I think you could enhance by processing differently.

    I don’t think having people in a photo is mandatory for a street photo. I must say, I’m a bit sick of photographers constantly telling me what it is, street or not.
    The first photo has nice colours and light, and strangely, I find there’s a bit of a sinister tone in it! The second photo has a mysterious effect and a good composition, with a nice BW conversion.

    I like this spot. It’s a narrow street where, at that time, the sun comes in reflected in the windows of the upper floors. So, if I'm around, I walk over and wait to see if someone interesting passes by. And the other day, in that narrow street, mom, little Cristina and a poor pigeon got together...

    The colours are an important part, but I like the compositional balance the bus brings, firstly just appearing on the right with a perfect amount of blur and then again as a reflection. Its strong reds on the right offset the bright greens on the left.
    In the second, the blurred bus takes up more than half the frame, but that little window clear through the bus catches the cyclist almost perfectly, and that little sharp island is enough to offset the sharp bikes on the right. Very neat.

    Agreed, but I prefer the first. There is something very sinister about it!

    A dog's eye view of Trap Day on Monhegan.

    Lovely scene! I would be tempted to crop just above the roof of the boat, which would emphasise the dog-boat link. However, maybe that would just make the whole thing too obvious, and the extra layer with the other fishermen perhaps adds interest and a further sense of place, and makes the viewer work harder for the reward of the dog-boat interaction.

    The colours and the extrovert boy are appealing, but if that had been taken in England, there would be an extra level too. The two-fingered salute the boy is giving is the equivalent of the middle-finger salute elsewhere in the world, which would be amusing. Maybe he is English and on holiday in California. Now I like the photo even more.

    This is great. Not only is the framing special, but those arms doing the framing seem to be helping the woman on the left with her hair/bonet/make-up in a similar way to the woman in the frame.
