The Weekly Street Photography Thread

Welcome to the street photography weekly thread and I wish you a happy new year.

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.

The guide. I thought nicely circled (or half circled!) tourists around this colourful guide on an elevated position was a mundane central London scene, but I thought I might make it a bit more interesting if I could capture it from even a higher POV with good subject isolation.

Critic

WhyNot

Yes, the framing is excellent. However, I want to see more of the faces of the tourists rather than the back of the guide. I know he's the 'subject' but maybe shifting the focus to the audience would be more interesting?
