Outstanding! Very high grade street work.

Nice to see your doing color street. I hate all the crappy BW street people send in that say nothing but, 'hey, look at me I'm a BW photo.'

Here is a nice book on street photos from Blurb. Someone should do some curation work and put together a street book from photogs around the world.

Street Exposé by Street Exposé Group: Arts & Photography | Blurb Books

'Street Photography Now' is also a nice street book. Here is a list of books for you aspiring street photogs.

Very nice!

#2 is potentially the strongest "street" shot here, but the important element, the old guy's expression, is lost in the confusing background. A little judicious burning and dodging would bring that forward a bit and clarify the picture.

A couple of these (#4 and #5) strike me as excessively gimmicky. You saw an interesting visual combination, and shot that. The unusual collection is visual elements is so strong that all we really see is that, the picture itself is somewhat lost. We say 'hah, what a funny way the light looks on her!' and that's it, we hardly see the girl, and we're done with the picture.

On the one hand, outstanding "seeing" and timing to nail these interesting visual arrangements, on the other hand I think using that skill a little more gently would produce even better pictures.

These are wonderful and I would be happy to have taken any of them.

Always amolitor with the good points. *knuckles him on the head*

I guess I was more reacting to the wow factor of these as photography and not so much STREET photography, and yeah... I guess he has a good point there. Maybe not always the best STREET shots, but all pretty awesome shots in general.
