Number 1 really stands out from the others, that look is superb.

Totally agree with others one 1 and 5 - both superb - but also really like the last one as well - of all the images - this is the one that makes me wonder what the story is. Has she spotted you - are you really that scary looking or is she on the run?

Very interesting. Street photography looks so easy. All you do is go to town with your camera and take pictures of people in the street (as furtively as possible.)

I did that this morning. trouble is, the shots are all terrible. they're just pictures of people in the street. Vivian Maier would be ashamed to turn out such dross.

Oh, and I've just discovered a branch of photography at which the MX-1 does not excel. The shutter lag, which in landscape photography is barely noticeable, renders the camera useless for this sort of "decisive moment" stuff.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Keep trying Andrew
