I've still got an enormous amount of photos from Hong Kong and Barcelona to go through, here are a few more that I PPed recently. I thought I'd make a set, even though the first couple I've already shared somewhere here. Call it a homage to a certain Mr Trout

Tim, these are good and they offer the viewer food for thought, I get a lot more out of them more than just a customary glance and a 'oh, they're nice'.
You've used your canvases well here and that's what it's all about, keep on fishing!

Great set imaginatively composed and wonderfully caught number 3 is very poignant.

These are very cool Tim. Well observed and taken. Your street photographs are very accomplished!

For me the first three are your finest street shots so far! Especially no. 3. Great stuff Tim!

Great stuff Tim. Just the way I like 'em. Lifestyle differences is a very telling juxtaposition.

Thanks for all the positive comments!

Mat and PP, thanks you guys too. I would love to be 'a street photographer', but most of the time I feel like an impostor I'll keep trying though, as I do love the genre. Pity it is so frowned upon in the UK.
