Now I will comment on John's (emraphoto) China Town image:
1. Composition: The size of the two people in this image is perfect to be large enough to draw our eyes into their theatrical gestures. A wider angle would have given us a different persepctive with less impact.
2. The story: I wonder what went throught the heads of these two people. The mans clasped hands are telling a story while the woman's eyes express worries (maybe). I will a sif the two persons are floating through the market. No other people are around.
3. Choice of B&W was very effective here. A color image may draw away some of the impact from the two people.

John , "china town!": Very nice street shot! You caught a great scene with the two people in a typically Chinese moment, very Yin/Yang, male/female, coming/going, hat/no hat, etc... Technically, this shot has nice contrast and tonality.

This is fantastic John – you’ve really caught the essence of RF street photography here for me and nailed the decisive moment! I love the duality of the image – 1 person travelling/facing one way, the other opposite, but both with their hands clasped behind them. Both going about their business, but absorbed in their own worlds. I like the tones you’ve got out of the image while retaining detail in the blacks. Nice work

nice street shot. I like the opposite play among the two people walking in their own directions ignoring each other but assuming the same stance (all this could be read at many different levels). Good job on with exposure and composition.

Great catch. I see mirror images on several levels here. The man appears to be a Westerner so there is the East/West mirror as well as the man/woman mirror. They are moving I opposite directions, but both have assumed the same stance, with hands held behind their backs.
I aspire to this sort
