I'm glad you used the wink smiley Karl otherwise we'd have been a bit worried about you

Some nice shot Peter, one suggestion, have you thought about isolating the girl in the first shot by blurring the background I think it would be a great image then? shame on you though for not getting it right in the camera

The 5 o'clock shadow put me off. , good sports though. Some of the guys made better looking ladies than some of the ladies.

all good but the pick of the bunch is number 4 for me. The shadows are less harsh than on the direct flash shots. well done

Carnival time here too, but I missed the parade . Now just a load of drunken revellers to photograph.

I love number 4!

Agreed, but what can you do? It was dark (mostly), and the street lighting was minimal.

I used 'bare' flash on very few shots, most were diffused with an Omnibounce. The Lumiquest SoftBox wouldn't have been an option in these crowds.

It wasn't meant to be a criticism, I did say that all the pics were good and that number 4 was my favourite because of the softer less harsh lighting.

no 4 !!!!

Best light. Nice colours. Good composition.
And not "making show" - not aware of being before the camera - that means: natural. Also the different generations....

good!

I didn't take it as a criticism, no offence taken, and none meant.

I was rather looking for tips/advice. Night time street photography of this sort is not something I do a lot of.
