Eager to receive feedback of any sort.
 
ok well their faces are in shadows and there's too much empty space on the right side of the frame. A little crop and some shadow detail could enhance the shot IMO. The subject is telling a story so that's a good advantage.
 
Thanks for the feedback and advice. Just wondering what exactly do you mean by shadow detail?
 
Just because a photo is actually taken in the street doesn't make it 'street photography.'

"street" is maybe the hardest of all in photography. The photographer stalks his chosen environment where, essentially, nothing is happening - people are quietly going about their business - and yet has to select tiny moments when an image can be snatched which is more than the sum of its parts - fractions of a second often, where some fleeting coincidence of expression, gesture, positioning, and movement come together to create an instant which holds some undefinable meaning. It's a very hard ask; maybe only 20 or so photographers in the whole of the 20th century were really successful at it."

What you have in this picture is just a picture of two black guys in the street.

Look at Tuna Önder Street Photography for some terrific, accessible street photography.
