Your street photography is a good study of what not to photograph and what nice things/subjects to photograph. I particularly like #1 because you capture a task this man seems to always do each day -- feeding the birds.
#2 Having smoked a long time ago and stopped doing so, this is the kind an advertisement to stop smoking might help with some to be aware.
#4 is an excellent shot. I like the colour of this structure. The human element is truly accepted here.
#5 -- this is what happens when one eats too much fast food. No control of portion nor what's in it...
#6 -- Happy shot.
#7 -- Kept looking at this lady several times not know whether she really is a lady or a transgender. I decided she is a lady after all but decided too that her hair is a wig.
#8 -- Like #3, I am not too keen on this either.
These are only my thoughts and opinion...if I offended anyone with my choice of words, accept my apology then move on.

You have developed a good eye and trigger finger Matt. A good technique as well given that most of these are taken from the hip. 4 and 7 are the standouts for me although a slightly closer crop of 4 might be worth a try.

Nice series, a few could use a bit more processing to separate the subject from the background.

#6 and #7 for me Matt Did you take a brake in B&W images?

[Sergio M.]

Another enjoyable set, Matt. My favorite would have to be #6. Everyone including the people inside seem to be laughing. Well seen.

Good set, Matt. I particularly like #8. The framing, ground-level PoV, and matching yellows - all very pleasing.

Thanks all for the comments

Hi Binnur, I just prefer colour to be honest.

I think B&W images can be more beautiful in some cases - but colour is nearly always more interesting!

IMO Ivor would look a lot better if he were in a grassy meadow on a bluff above the sea, feeding gulls with a setting sun behind him. And the folks in no.5 would look awesome sitting on a rock wall with a pasture full of sheep in the BG with dew on the grass and early morning light.

Well...!!! Those are both tall orders. I like mine with ice to the top...
