  2. It's easy to see Melbourne has a volatile weather. Although it's summer in the southern emisphere, people are still wearing coats,.
    Great contrast between the outfits of the boy, who was walking towards the photoghapher, and the women on the right side.

  4. No "oops" in this fine portrait of this fellow coming down the stairs. Yes, he is looking directly into your lens, but that's fine for both of you.

  9. A great shot! I still wonder if you can share pictures of random people without their permission....photographing people without their consent will definitely get you into trouble over here.

    1. Just like CCTV in streets. No permission is needed. Streets are public galleries

    1. Australia is deteriorating in social security badly like the rest of the world. Sooner or later, street photography won't be safe any further

  14. Gran parte del mérito de esta buena fotografía callejera radica, en mi opinión, en la bien calculada profundidad de campo que deja el fondo desenfocado centrando toda la atención en el protagonista.
    Un abrazo,

  15. As long as he wasn't upset by you taking his photo, no problem. It came out nicely.

  16. A good photo of a nice looking young man. One good thing about having to use an iPhone to take photos is that it's less obvious. Happy Valentine's Day yesterday, Roentare! 😂❤️
