Was he moving during this? Or is the focus just falling slightly behind his head?

The second. I was using my 70-210 and I think I was just a little too close. Usually its best to be about 6 ft away when I use it and here I was only about 2-3. Couldnt really tell until I saw it at home on the monitor.

I really like photo 4 - lovely expression and the light is very nice. :thumbup:

#4 in second set. Great shot. Nice light, especially in the eyes. Expression, angle, mood. Baseball caps can be tricky, but you got the lighting right, imo. Nice DOF. Subject is dead center, but in this case it doesn't seem to be an issue, at least it isn't for me. This one's a winner.

I like #3, also. Arm cut off isn't so flattering, though. I would have squatted for that shot, especially since she's probably shorter than I am. Great expression and attitude!

Just a suggestion: maybe try composing your shots from different positions and angles, not just eye-level.

That was a super quick grab on #3. I was waiting to cross a street and their was a family waiting to cross too. While they were waiting the daughter posed for a picture for mom. So I am looking over moms shoulder when I shot this.

If you liked #4. I have another that is similar. I was going to post it in the bw forum but Ill share it here with you.

This is Garfield. Needless to say life has been rough on Garfield. I also asked Garfield if I could take his picture. He consented but would not look at the camera.

Street photography can be an interesting subject. It is also interesting to see what other people consider to be 'street photography'.
