My first post

Hi
This is my first post in this forum. Photography is currently a hobby of mine, here are few of my b&w images...

The first two photos were taken in Thailand. One was taken in a street bar, during night time...

while the other was captured in a bus ride during day time...

The 3rd and 4th photos were taken in San Francisco (@ sutro baths)...
.

CC is welcome.

Nicely done and welcome to the forum.

Thank you all
Here are three more photos. I would appreciate any CC about the photos in this thread.
I know what I see when I look at my photos, however, what I see is naturally different than what you are seeing and I am very interested to learn what strikes you positively (if any) and what negatively.

Here are few more images...
First is 'I Wonder'...

The next is "Ice Cream You Scream"...(taken from a moving vehicle)...

the next one is "Taking a break"...

Thank you

Second batch is much more interesting. The first of whichoice (i wonder) has the best composition, subject, etc. I do think you dodged the man and burned everything else a little too harshly.

I like your "story telling" type of images.

The images are very compelling, all of them. The eye contact and story-telling in the street shots are very well done. There's a strong feeling and mood coming from all of them.

Three nitpicks:
-The vignetting is a bit too heavy at times
-The last two of the first set could use some cropping at the bottom. I adore foreground oof areas to draw the eye up, but I think there's too much in those two shots. Instead of drawing the eye to the center, they're pulling the eye down. It makes the frame bottom-heavy and unbalanced.
-I love the play of light and dark, though in a few shots, the lightest spots are distracting. In "I wonder" the lamps are totally blown out and look a little weird. In the first shot of the first set, the slash of light under her arm breaks the line of her arm in a distracting way.

limr: Thank you for taking the time and replying with valuable insights. I appreciate the opportunity to see my photos with fresh set of eyes which are able to easily identify items which I have overlooked.
