I'm in with another local photography group that's actually active!!! I met up with them by happenstance for the Kelby Photowalk in Durham. Pretty good small group of mature & eclectic people. At each meetup a challenge is given to shoot, post on Flickr and bring 3 printed images for the next meetup.

The challenge this time was for Street Photography. I thought you guys could help me with the three to submit. I've got more that I haven't processed yet, but pulled these out at first glance. I also decided that I wanted to go with B&W images.

Oh.... one more thing. Sometimes I crack myself up, sometimes I piss myself off. On this ocassion, I did a bit of both. I forgot to check my ISO settings for most of the shots taken with my D700 (1-4 here). It was set at ISO2500 on a very bright sunny day. I thought my shutter speeds were on the fast side. :lol:

They're all good, kundalini, but I'd give the nod to 2, 4 and 6.

I have to agree with Fox Paw, all are good, but I'd go with 2, 4 or 6.

With number 1, its too bad he wasn't standing in front of an optometrist's office. :-)

4 is a classic! 6 is great too. I wish there was a little more room to the left of the front wheel of the motorcycle.

I'm odd woman out, I like 1 and 6 the best.

Well, it looks like 4 & 6 are clear leaders, but the third photo is still up for grabs.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

IMO #6 is the best of group, also like #2 a lot but that white van is drawing eyes

"also like #2 a lot but that white van is drawing eyes"

Now that you mention it, yeah. The two guys are the picture. Maybe some cropping?
