Street Photography

Lovely juxtaposition in this classic street shot. A women lost in thought is captured by not one but two photographers! Great timing and observation. Good use of a wide angle lens and a fast shutter speed stopping the moment perfectly. Excellent work!

The light and shade really has created this stand out street shot for me - fantastic timing and beautifully observed. Lots of detail too bringing this vibrant street scene alive - you can almost smell the flowers. Nice capture - lovely work!

So much atmosphere in this image I really love a night scene. You've managed to take a really good exposure under difficult lighting conditions. Light from the strips above help to capture amazing detail in the mans face and food that he's preparing. . Excellent work!

Really love this shot - so much brooding atmosphere contained in one frame. Also well done for capturing the moment from a moving boat - very well observed - the timing is perfect. Nice post production too - I love the natural tones. Excellent work.

Love the yellow and blues - the composition really works well too! Great observation - a very nice street shot capturing a fleeting moment unnoticed. I like how the officers are together but lost in their own thoughts. Top work!

I love the vibrant colours in this image, they work so well together. Right place and right time are essential elements in street photography and this moment has been beautifully observed and captured. This photograph really caught my eye and is a worthy top ten finalist. Well done!

This is a beautiful image capturing a difficult subject. A lot of the entries submitted have documented the global problem of homelessness. This can make for uncomfortable viewing. I feel photographers have a duty to record street scenes with sensitivity especially with vulnerable people. However I think in this instance the photographer has conveyed some hope in a seemingly hopeless situation. The bird appears as if from the man's dream offering that hope. It's a really powerful image.

I love this picture! Just goes to show what you can achieve with a good eye! A lot of photographers get obsessed with cameras and kit but this image proves otherwise. The humble G3 has made its mark in this fantastic observation. Beautiful colours and light - well done this is a great street shot - a worthy winner!

Love the block of red in this shot contrasting so well with the scooter and the boy looking on pensively - a really beautiful capture leaving the viewer curious about his story. This is the joy of street photography - sometimes you have to fill in the details where there is none. Great work!

Fantastic capture immersing the viewer in a torrential downpour on the streets of Kathmandu. The use of a fast shutter speed stopping the action perfectly. The colours are working really well here too helping to add additional interest to the shot. Nice work!

Love the colours they work so well together making this a really excellent street shot- the fast shutter speed captures the moment perfectly. Street photography is all about observation and lighting reactions - you've managed both here. Excellent work well done!

Fantastic detail in this image - really puts the viewer in the scene - beautifully observed. You've done really well to hold the shot with such a slow shutter speed. I love how the window shutter has created a frame around the subject. Great work!

Excellent street capture - the boy's smile really is a ray of sunshine...beautiful! The wide open aperture is put to great use here and works perfectly with the fast shutter speed. A fleeting moment caught makes this a real favourite for me.

Really beautiful moment captured on the streets of Brittany. The picture leaves the viewer wanting to find out more -the long lens really working well in this shot. The curious couple are lifted from the background to make sure they are centre of attention. Nice work!

A beautifully unguarded moment captured on the streets of Athens - the book seller deep in thought doing his puzzles doesn't notice the photographer taking a quick snap! I love all the detail of the stall captured with a wide angle lens. Really great work!

Love this peaceful tranquil moment captured in the golden light - very nice composition, the wide focal length working really well here. Sometimes there's a temptation to come in closer but this wider view tells more of a story I think.

A beautifully composed shot. Homelessness is sadly a common theme in street photography as it's such a global problem. I think however you have captured the moment beautifully - the light is amazing and the wide aperture and long focal length work very well together. You have also captured some dignity here with your subject which I think is important when photographing vulnerable people. Excellent work.
