The first 2 seem to me to be more cityscape/architectural than street/PJ.

The last is definitely street/PJ. What struck you about this situation that made you decide to take the picture? I'd like to see the feet of the lady with her back turned.

One other suggestion is to post your entries in the Street and PJ forum for comment. There are folks there that have a lot of experience in the genre who can give you better feedback than I can.

#3 is definitely heading in the right direction. I would play with a couple of cropping options, possibly square. The conversion looks pretty good too. Good work!

These Ladies are a couple that I used to work with in the cafe they are standing outside of. The fact that yesterday afternoons temp was only 2 above played a role.

Okay thanks. I figured since it was for the challenge it should be here but that is a great Idea!!:deal

Thanks Michswiss!!

Liz, Thanks!!! It was shot with the 18-55 kit lens set at 18mm, I was Literally 5 feet from the lady leaning on the wall. I wish i hadn't chopped of the other ones feet but i was also shooting from the hip(Literally). Anytime I raised the camera above my waist they would stop and pose(dang them)
