The good, the bad and the sunny !

Oh yes, "Happy times in Temple Bar" almost looks like something :-) You are good so I have to be cruel. Well, not cruel, strict is the correct word.
However, there is something wrong about the colour. Have you seen it in BW? It's a littlebit better.

Ghost Train

not bad, i really like the mount street canal shot

I wonder would crouching down to take some of the shots have given some of the photos a more interesting perspective(level perspective vs aiming down), mainly the shots with the people are low down sitting on the street.

There are a few shadows that destract a bit, what looks like the shadow of your head in the first and third of the shots you link to, also in those two shots the subjects feet aren't in shot. just small details, but might have helped the shots, looked like a nice evening in town

Thanks for your advice, the sun was pretty strong , so i had an overall problem with shadows, some other nice shots were ruined by too much shadow.
Thanks for feedback.

I hate sun, however you can use it to ge more figures - the shadows. Or only the shadows. And the colours are so bright...
Gloomy BW photography is easier, isn't it? :-)

I like a photographing a bit of everything !
Some of the shots such as those linked above, were pretty spontaneos , so it was hard to capture perfectly, that girl posing was just out of the blue, with a nice smile
And i didn't really want to catch the eye of the guy on O'Connell bridge, so again shadows and composition wern't great -- but thats the challenge of photography to capture the moment perfectly -- one day hopefully.

does this black and white version look better of the 3 posers in Temple bar ?
