The image quality on this one isn't so good: it was very underexposed and is a heavy crop.

Shit sucks. Street photography is more than just pointing the camera in random directions and pressing the button.

That's not what I did at all. If my shit sucks, could you tell me why?

I think he wouldn't praise any street photography in general. Your shots could be good but you'd get no recognition from him personally.

But yeah, I don't think they're too great either.>>57413could have been a lot better if the subject were better lit in focus and the verticals were straight. Choosing some of your shots to be in black and white versus color is good like in>>57415. But that's about the only merit I can give you.

Some pretty good shots. I always visit Binghamton, because I live very close to there.

Get closer & don't shoot too much of people's backs

Put a bit more effort into composition, a good street photo will tell some kind of story or convey some kind of feeling. These just look like random snapshots... there's no clearly defined subjects, there are lots of unnatural crop angles and off-kilter lines that don't match the themes of the photos.
