I am currently a photo student and I am really trying to find what style I like and am comfortable with. I have just recently started to really look at street photographers and have done a little myself. I really enjoy capturing people in their everyday situations, which is why I really enjoy this photograph. I think it is really great that the two main people in the frame are dressed in really nice clothes and come across as though they have a good deal of money, but yet they are browsing through knock off sunglasses that probably don't cost anymore than $20. I like the framing around the guy's head to bring him into focus and I enjoy the framing around the main figures by the man on the far right and the handle of the cart on the far left. You really captured the feeling of the busy street. Technically it is a great photograph.

Great street photography. I am a long time fan of your blog, and I just found it again in photoblogs.org. Keep the good job!

Excellent shot. I wish I had the courage to do some proper street photography and candid shots.
