An afternoon at the fair, an essay at street photography, comments appreciated

I like No 2 most, because of the interaction AND geometry of the image.The color scheme is great as well. Nos 7 and 4 also stand out. I would not call it street photography as I understand the term. Rather street portraits. No 3 interesting a well. Nos 1, 5, 6 and 8 leave cold.

I did not even know there was such a thing as street portrait! It does make sense. Street photography is more about telling a story from what I understood so far.
Thanks for your comments. much appreciated!

I'd like to see the whole series in B&W as I am not convinced in this case, color adds to the impact...almost detracts to my eye since it appears you are going more for human interest than pure essence of the fair.

Now B&W is something I did not think about Ceeboy! I always tend to do everything in color, but I do like this one in B&W. It is true that what caught my eye is really human interest, I took some shots of parents with their kids, and it is their similarities that caught my eye such a these two for example


Here are a few in B&W
does it make them more interesting?

The different styles are getting much clearer now, not that I would absolutely want to identify with a style in particular, but it is very good to see how others perceive my images specially if I want to convey a feeling or an emotion. or an information. Thank You very much
