The Weekly Street Photography Thread #8 09/05/2025

Great catch. Would be even better with a bit more space at the sides, maybe by being a bit further right and closer to the wall, a more acute view. easy to talk after the event.

Fantastic shot - love the reflected curves and asches.

Works quite well for me. If only they'd been wearing clothes for hotter weather!

Yes, a cool shot with humour, which I always appreciate in Street photography.

Agree. Actually, lowering the exposure slightly might make it even better?

The image works as is, but you could try lowering the exposure fairly significantly. I imagine that if the shadow side was close to pure black it would look really good. The brickwork could be made invisible by doing so, or at least just faint suggestions, and the writing on the posters should still be visible. Darkening the right side would help to make it less busy as well.

Indeed, two very different dog’s lives!
I like the people being headless, as their faces would immediately attract attention away from the dogs.
The dog’s head on the yellow line attracts the eye to the dog and its situation.

Ha! Ha! Shame he didn’t win, although I hope that isn’t a bag of golf clubs alongside him…

You have captured the way the buildings are often cheaply and simply built out of necessity, but still contain elegant decorative features, such as the ornamented pillars and wrought ironwork.
The women with their umbrellas complete the scene perfectly. An umbrella in England or Germany is to protect against an excess of rain, so it is nice to see them to protect against excess sunshine!

I’d like to go to Kyoto. Here we see something different from the cliché of cherry blossom and temples, something more ordinary and refreshing.

I’ll join you for that, if you don’t mind.

I agree with Fireplace that there is something appealing about him appearing from the darkness, framed by all those railings. The way he is carrying the tray, he seems to be holding the simits out to the viewer.

I like the thin vertical format, with brightly coloured skirt at the top. It causes the eye to travel over the crossing towards the colour.

The concentration really makes this photo.
I also like the square of pink lights mirroring her phone case.
