Number two is especially good.The woman and the lower dog look identical. The other two images are fine as well.
I wonder who the other dog looks like?

Street shows the human condition in all it's foibles, loves, hates, friendships and idiosyncrasies.

What did I leave out?

The problem is not the name of the genre; the problem is the scarcity of meaningful images.
How can you tell the difference between good street and bad street if, as you say, you can't even define what street is? We certainly know what an aria is. I happen to like Puccini arias, Bellini more so, R. Strauss less so. What I think doesn't make them any more or less arias. And studying the "masters" isn't going to help you very much coming to grips with the arias in John Adams's operas. That requires a fresh approach. Yet, arias they are.
While we are at it, and for the same reason, we should get rid of the landscape forum too. You've said you can't define landscape either. I've seen lots of images posted there that clearly weren't landscape (including your recent image of a sandhill crane), and many more which weren't very good. Just like the street forum. In fact, I'd do away with the whole Art of Photography section. Most of the images on this website are in the equipment section anyway because most people are more interested in what camera the image was taken with than the image itself. A significant portion of the images in the Art of Photography section have equipment information given so they can easily be relocated.
Dear faberryman,

I posted three images in this thread in "User Critiques" and not in "Street Showcase."
I don't see how your comments have anything to do with my images or with critiques in any way. If you insist on turning so many threads into yet more repetitious polemics against Russ's views, I will complain to the moderators.

If you have anything useful to say about my posted images, I will be happy to read it.

I think your second image with the woman and dogs is good.
