Street photography, imho, begins and ends on the street. You're there to see, to document and to capture. Of course theres a certain amount of processing you do after. Colour or b&w. However, you shouldn't be using processing to change the context of the image. The context is what you captured when you were there. Its what you saw and its what you wanted to comment on. Use your camera to show that. This is why it feels forced to me. Its two seperate elements that have been thrown together and the end result simply feels like he got in the way. The thing is, I'm not entirely sure what he's got in the way of. If its the store I'm thinking of, top of Bold St, I know it well. I'm fairly sure there are other things to comment on there. Its very lively.
