The Weekly Street Photography Thread

Welcome to the street photography weekly thread.
I am so sorry for my low contribution. I will try to do it better.
We are hoping to get your images and hear what other members think about them.
It is open to all members of the forum; members can post a single image or a selection of images on a theme in a single post. Multiple posts are allowed.
What constitutes street photography has always been debatable. There are several opinions about it, and we do not want to restrict participants. You can post whatever you deem fits into the genre; however, please be prepared to hear criticism as well.

Guidelines:
1. We aim to increase the popularity of street photography and encourage our fellow photographers to be more interested in the genre.
2. Give your photo a title and include any other information you think is relevant. I personally love to know why you made this photo, what attracted you to make it, and why you like it. But this is NOT MANDATORY.
3. A single image or a theme-based group of images are allowed. No multiple posts, please.
4. If you post an image, that means you are ready to hear feedback.
5. We want to hear your thoughts about others’ posts.
6. Please keep all posts civilised and polite.
7. Unless specifically stated otherwise by the original poster, please do not modify the images.

This is the same staircase spot I posted some other compositions before. I am trying to get a different perspective. I will keep trying.

Alan,

The ones that show more of the environment work the best, I think. Sepia doesn't add anything to a picture of somebody standing in front of a brick wall.

Taking photos based on themes is a productive exercise. Rather than trying to capture whatever occurs in front of us, having something in mind and trying to frame it in an interesting way will yield better results. So, fundamentally, I think your starting point is very positive.
The challenge of street photography is that, most of the time, photographers must create something impactful out of the ordinary or mundane. Some post-processing — such as selective colouring, black and white, or sepia conversion — can help to increase the impact.
Regarding your photographs, I don’t think your processing does much to enhance their impact.

On the Street .....

I've been traveling and haven't had much time to post. I don't like posting unless I also have the time to contribute to discussions.
Won't be home for another week but days are no longer as frantic and I have better net access. I'll post the same shot to a couple of discussion groups here as it crosses boundaries and not everyone reads all the groups.

On the train to Perugia.
