I have a great interest in 'street' photography and this is a praiseworthy example, Massimo. By sheer coincidence the subjest is remarkably similar to my 'Charing Cross Road' image of two men down on their luck (it's in my portfolio here - it was shot around 1967!)
Best wishes. David

A well- composed and beautifully-executed image,Roland. I love the depth of colour in the sky as well as the thrusting geometry of the bridge. One of my Favourites. Best wishes, David.

A lovely photograph. I like the gentleman's expression and of course the handsome cat.There is good use of shallow depth of field, the blurred background focuses our attention on these two characters. One of my Faviurites Best wishes, David.

You have created a sense of mystery, Mostafa, with the shadowy figure and the stairs behind him. Good composition. Inder if this would be even better in black and white. Many thanks for your kind comments. Best wishes, David.

There is a spooky feel about this. Well-composed and executed. I like the sepia toning here.

Peter, I think you have achieved your primary aim to make us see how strange this building looks. The reflections are what make it so interesting here - there is a curious illusion of a double exposure because the sky looks as if it is being seen through the building. Technically this is fine....Many thanks for your kind comments. Best wishes. David

Ken, I can't really agree with you on this one.The older lady's attitude is merely suggested and not meant to be taken literally. The image is really an illustration of the generation gap. Best wishes. David

A good use of lack and white, Suryo. This would have been even better if (a) there wasn't a hot spot in the centre of the flagstones, (b) there weren't so many ditracting elements in the scene - simplicity is the keynote in this kind of image.Best wishes. David

Jose, I love the lighting and the atmosphere here. This would have been perfect if you had been able to exclude the upper quater of the scene - these modern features in the backgound are very unattractive. Best wishes. David

An egg-cellent still life, Ursula! That contraption on the right looks very menacing. Stil, you know what they say 'You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs'.This looks very nice in black and white, with a wide range of grey tones....Many thanks for your comments. Best wishes. David

Shelby,there's an interesting contrast between the energy of the boy in the foreground and the absorbed stillness of the others, so typical when children of different ages get together.The lighting must have been a challenge for you, being so contrasty, and really there wasn't much you could do about it. At least the children in the background aren't lost in the shadows. Best wishes. David

Pascal, a lovely portrait of these two children. I like the way you have captured the differing expressions of the two, the boy in front slightly older and more thoughtful, the other just being his age. One for my favourites, definitely. Best wishes. David
