Took a day away from work to go get some street shots done today - was good fun with loads of people shopping. Have lots more to process but particularly liked these few - the slightly rougher bokeh/gradients between colours seems to be as a result of saving as jpegs, doesn't look anywhere near as bad in the full sized files - honest :)

C&C welcome & appreciated.

Cheers all :)
 
Processing is constant and stands out from the usual B&W, although a bit instagram for me, but if that's your style that's fine. It works well for the first image.
#1 - love the vacant stare, and the blurred background, I might have put him slightly left of centre because of the way he's looking.
#2 - good capture of the look, love the height difference
#3- great interaction between the subject and sign
#4 - good character capture.

Interstign set - thanks, look forward to seeing more.
 
Good set Mike the expression on the first is excellent and the context of the sign and the guy is apt.

Cheers David & Byker for the feedback, was good getting out with the camera, has been a short while.

Cheers for the feedback mate, I'm still waiting on getting my 85mm so took this with my 80-200 on a D300 - usually try to keep it at the lower end of the zoom but was nice having the option to zoom as I usually use primes.

Thanks Steve, was made up when he looked over - I'd have liked the sign to be a bit more in focus but he couldn't have timed it better :)
 
I really like those & glad you're not going with the tired cliche that B&W images are somehow more sophisticated!
