This scene caught me by surprise in my way back home. Some of the motion blur is due to my vibrating car, some from the activity in progress.

Another very nice set this...being a portraiture man myself, I'm especially drawn to your third shot, but I do like them all.

I really like one this but in my naivety missed the obvious and had to have it explained to me... doohhh

I enjoyed these Flavio, a top quality selection of street images, keenly observed, captured, presented and commented on

All of these are very interesting shots. The first one speaks for itself! The second one is taken from an interesting perspective. The third a classic. The fourth for me represented the uneasiness of that way of life, and the chaos that surrounds it. Great set.

Flavio, each one of these is outstanding and I would have a difficult time trying to choose a favorite, though I would probably choose the third for its superlative composition and contrast of the two lifestyles. These are some of the best street scenes I've seen.
