Street shots

Quote from: Terry Breedlove
True but I think ordinary shots over time can become something very important. A big part of the power of photography is the documentary aspect of it. For example artist Toulouse Lautrec said photography helped him to capture life. He said “I don’t want to make things beautiful I want to make them real”  That is where photography really shines in my opinion to capture an event, a split second in time forever. That is very real. So maybe these images aren't creative or artistic or emotional but they do hold value in their own way don't you think ?

No question about it, Terry.

Number three and the later shots (Yosemite, Grand Canyon) are clearly the winners to me.
RSL's crop makes the image better, but the DR is still a problem.

I believe you should be more radical in selecting out questionable shots, since you have very good ones!

Selecting out shots hurts at times, but is very important IMO - I myself am struggleing a lot with it,
but less is more in many cases .....
