to be honest they don't do much for me, but neither do any of my candids so don't take it to heart

I like these... #2 is the pick of the bunch for me, the chap obviously looks after his dog well! Lots of character too

They don't really do anything for me I am afraid, I have never had the courage to do street photography, maybe because I think the images should in your face close, have a noisy or gritty feel to them, higher contrast and I think B&W conversions for some reason work the best.

The guy in 4 for instance looks as though he could tell a story or two, but I feel detached from him because he is so far away!!!!!

Take your point, but I do not think candids always have to "in your face close, have a noisy or gritty feel to them", I just like to try and get shots that show characters. B&W does often add something, but I must admit to being a novice with that process.
