Very nice collection. Your work has a nice look. Well exposed, good scanning skills. More important, good subject choices.

By way of constructive criticism, one or two of your pictures could use a little more careful framing. I know on the street, there is not often time to compose - you just have to fire away. One of my favorites is the one labeled 10-03-2007-r1-p11 - the one with the two photographers shooting back at you. I wanted to see their feet and less of the background. The tree trunk could have been sacrificed for a little more foreground.

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed looking.

Nice work. If you want to be great though, your work will have to have some narrative other than just being good images Give yourself an assignment one day when your out. That way you wont be able to rely on grab shots that don't relate to one and other. That's not a negative comment on any of the work you showed in the link BTW. But you have to test yourself to be great.

Once again nice work!

I really like the shot of the man in the directors chair. With a couple of more people walking in and out of the frame to add to the feeling of action it would be even better.
Keep your eyes open for out-of-the-ordinary scenes like this and capture them!

It takes brass "spheres" to be a good one. Keep it up and you'll gain confidence and skill.

Great work!

You've got the eye, and are doing as well or better than 90% of the contributors on this site.....and many claim to be pros!

Photography is a big world. Don't be afraid to keep trying something new even if it means learning something old first.

Nice photos. My personal favorites are the man in front of the don't feed the pigeons sign, and the waif on knees in front of the building. The first has a humor to it, the second keeps me returning and looking trying to figure out what is going on there.
