Great contest!

This is another well-done street photo. I would have chosen a different frame, 16/9 to cut the area above, and I probably would have added you into the top 10. Excellent low contrast black and white conversion, this does not work with every photo, but on this one, it is excellent.

This photo has everything I was looking for. An un-posed street night scene. Excellent cut and light management, very well edited. This is an outstanding composition, very well done. You were waiting for the right moment to take the shot. The two men are busy. Interesting story.

I love to observe people on the street playing chess, seems that this vendors didn't have customers at the time. Well cut frame and good chosen scene. Fine black and white conversion and interesting photo of a market. Well done work.

I just love these low view scenes and 16/9 frame. Very well chosen with this low angle and view of the rails, endless. It's a little pity the the child is cut on the right side of the image, but this is street photography. Excellent shot and composition.

While looking at this photo, there are so many questions, who are the two men, why are they walking hand in hand. That's what I was looking for, a story with questions. Conversion to black and white is well done, just for my taste the are a bit to many highlights in the center part (ground) of the image. Well done.

This is definitely a unique scene with this homemade wheelchair. A well-chosen composition. I would have reduce some of the highlights during editing, the left lower part of the image is a little to highlighted for may taste. Well done, excellent candid shot.

I would like to see your best unposed photos of street scenes in black and white. Markets, narrow streets, bus or train stops are always excellent places to find crowds of people. In this contest I do not want to see any staged or portraits photos - candid shots only please. The photo should show a whole scene, maybe capturing a story telling moment. Good luck.
