I take pictures of random people on the streets, fairs, parks, etc. Sometimes I ask "Can I take your picture?" but mostly I take it (sometimes they notice, sometimes not). Would love any and all feedback that can help me improve. Thanks in advance.

Nothing? Really? That's usually not a good sign - but I'd really like feedback. How else will I get better?

I really like your concept and style. With that in mind I would keep in mind subject positioning in the frame when possible and light composition.

This can be difficult to achieve when you are shooting randomly and dont have set up time to get an ideal angle, light, pose, etc etc.

A few of the pics are just overall dark for my eye. The first is a great shot!

Thanks guys. Yes, lighting is definitely a challenge. I'd love to hear some examples of how you would have done the above differently with regards to light composition and subject positioning ... I think it would help me examine the pics with a different perspective and do it better next time.

LOL. Looks like a sheep, acts like a mule.

For some reason I keep getting drawn to the wrinkly guy in the first picture. I really like that one. Your dog looks like it wants to jump through the photograph and attack me..however I'm not sure that is a photography issue
