I asked for a couple tips the other day to point me in the right direction and here are some of the results.

Would love some feedback on the pics and the B&W conversion.

Thanks in advance

I like these, especially the ones where (I'm assuming) you asked to take their pictures. It makes a refreshing change from the usual grumpy looks you see in street photograpy. Also what the hell were the 3 guys thinking! That could have gone very wrong! :lol:

They're all good photos, but #11 really stands out the most to me. Great job!

Some good shots there, engagement between subject and lens pays dividends.

Give that dog a bone, top shot for me.

Hey Richard,
There are, as everyone has said, some excellent shots in this series.
Really love the natural look in #2.
Though the skin tones in #6 look a little odd. Or did he move?
Regards,
Simon
