I'm totally new to street photography but wanted to try out a new lens today. It was surprisingly refreshing and fun, even amongst the crazy "Panic Saturday" buyers...

1. This Mrs. Claus was actually dancing to Latino Hip Hop!

I'd usually be fine with converting to b&w, but find myself wanting to see the 2nd and 3rd one in colour, particularly the chief in his great headgear. I'd maybe think about cropping the left hand figures in the first one to concentrate more on the dancing queen as well.

Thanks Peter. It was quite a dull day and the Chief was stood under a large escalator, therefore dulling the colours further still. I'll have a play about but to be honest, other than straightening these photos and making some B&W, everything else is straight out of the camera.
