Beautiful! These inspire me to do some street stuff with my 'blad 🙂.

Nice idea to use a hasselblad for street shooting. Like them except #2. There those cut-in-the-middle-persons to the left an right disturb me a little.
All are lacking and would benefit being cropped. The sqare format works well when one is careful composing. The moment seems to be captured, but the compositions are definitely sloppy. Why is the subject centered in all the pics? Usually a telltale sign when one is new to the format.
1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 would've all been winning images if properly composed and only image number 2 is acceptable as is.
I don't want to rain on the parade... But I'm sure many who take photography seriously simply decided not to comment.
Could you perhaps point us to some acceptable examples of correct composition in the square format?
Your question is astounding, to say the least.
I think it's obvious. As can be seen in photo-101 classes.

Elude, it's the same way with pictures of Berlin taken by people who come from far away.The weirdest thing, I barely recognize my own city.
I use it with a 80mm lens I really like. It's easy to use and I use roughly the same on 35mm.Which lenses?
I used the WLF but with the loupe to be able to focus properly, so pretty much on eye level.Did you use eye level or WLF ? I always thought the WLF is the best street shooting accessory ever.

I totally agree and didn't expect anything else. I will practice though, and I'd love to buy a book about composition - if you know any, I'd appreciate a hint.All are lacking and would benefit being cropped.

I agree, I like the 2nd best. It could have been better if I had waited until those guys from the corners would have left, but I have to say I'm still pretty overwhelmed by that camera and just getting the shot was fine with me at that point.A little snootiness goes a long way, but since the OP asked for comments, I see no problem with sharing one's considered opinion. I agree that #2 is the strongest of the bunch and a couple of them don't really work.
Absolutely I would love to see your ideas. Anyone feel free to crop and edit ahead, if you think that improves the image. And if you're willing to spend the time, of course, I'd greatly appreciate it.I'm curious to see how you'd crop the images and I bet the OP is too.
