Bath street photography

I really like the first and second ones. I love colour street shots, and they have plenty of colour! The first could perhaps do with cropping the distracting red board on the right hand side out, which conveniently would put the lady on a third walking into the frame?
Of the other two, I prefer "Stepping out" as his pose more closely mimics the models, and his red top matching the model's dress stops my eye being pulled towards the model as much.

Yes, well spotted and captured. Even the ladies bag in No. 1 has a lot of colours going on.
Best regards.

Very coy. I don't think that quite covers gaining a LRPS. link

Thanks for the kind comments all. The cropping and positioning in #1 is deliberate. I wanted to retain the red barrier on the right because the line up looked like a colour chart. The colour of the elderly lady's bag matches that of the last barrier on the left, so she's going to get a match very soon.

Stepping out is my pick, David: it speaks so eloquently of life, age and the way of all flesh. Or something like that.
Best wishes,
Andrew

I'm just back in Durham after a few days in Bath (trespassing on Andrew's territory here). I took time out from business at the Royal Photographic Society to do some street photography.
I also visited Wells Cathedral, but that's for another thread.
