What a great set, good atmosphere and use of natural light.1,3,4&6 for me, I think I would crop either side of n0.4, I really like the light and the exchange that you have captured.

Lovely bunch of candids!!
Quantum theory says that once you observe something you change it's state. This is true with photography. And true here. but the trick is not to let hem know you've snapping them.
I think you've captured life mostly unawares and that is great.

A strong set Iqbal. There are a lot of burnt out highlights, but personally I don't think that's a problem with high contrast BWs like these. The last one is my favourite I think. Looks like a dodgy deal going on And I like the light on the two faces.
It depends how large your original is, but I wondered about perhaps a big crop plus a little rotation on that one (the rotation is just to get that ice cream cone out of the way, I don't mind the tilt at all):

You'd have to clone in some black in the bottom right, and perhaps get rid of that bright line down the left edge.

what i notice with shooting from the hip was that not only that they dont realize that I was taking picture of them, but also that sometimes could talk and interact with them and get an eye contact.Lovely bunch of candids!!

what i like most of the last picture are the contrast, because it was shot by the train door and there are light cast on the faces.A strong set Iqbal.

I have to say that the most bothering part of the last image was the foreground head. For me the big crop help, but I think it was to tight?
thank you

I like these, especially the ones on the train. They have an edginess to them which I really like. I agree with trickletreat's suggestion re cropping of #4, though I would probably only crop out the very dark part on the left hand side so it retains context. I also like Tim's crop of the last one. Nice work, I look forward to seeing more shot this way!

Great set but unlike Tim, I find the clipped highlights just too intrusive. Pity as there's a great deal to admire, pictorially.
Best wishes,
Andrew
