This street shot tells a wonderful story and is so well done technically. I love everything about it and wouldn't change a thing. Although the woman on the right is far from the other two, there is enough detail between them to keep them from seeming seperated.   Posted: 03/18/2020 17:18:07

I agree with the story-telling impact of the first image - the connect (or disconnect) between the three women captures and holds my interest and, I think, provides a sense of balance to the scene. Separating it into two images, to me, results in two lovely portraits but the story (at least in the image of the woman on the right) is lost. I definitely prefer the monochrome of this to the colour, in which the vibrant hues draw my eyes away from the women's faces and their activities. Lovely shading and facial tones in the BW and strong sharpness and texture throughout.   Posted: 03/20/2020 22:15:03

My choice is the mono but the full shot versus two separate images. I like odd numbers starting at three. I also like some of the results Chuck got popping more detail. Given the subjects I'd think the color version might be a strong "travel" street shot. You find great people subjects.   Posted: 03/21/2020 12:00:15
I like the monochrome the best, for the color you would need to desaturate it some, then it might work. I like all three people in the image, the knitting bag brings it all together. The faces could be a little darker, otherwise, the shot has a lot of interest and detail.   Posted: 03/21/2020 20:55:15
