Photo Information
One of only three photos which were any good, taken during a rare street photography session. Converted to BW in Photoshop then selectively popped the colour (as if the message wasn't obvious enough!)

The green is a bit too lurid for me, and the other text on the right hand side of the image a bit distracting, so I would crop it out.
Well done for giving street photography a go though, I'd be a bit worried about doing it.

Thanks for your interest, Tim,
Felt awkward throughout the shoot(a bit furtive) but there are some truly great practitioners of the art from the past and I wanted to have a go.
The best experience I had was working with the local museum and some kids from school trying to replicate pictures taken in and around town in the 1950s. No one bothered about the kids taking pics at all!
Maybe you're right about the green but that's how it was. Maybe a straight monochrome conversion would have been better. A tighter crop would certainly remove distractions and focus attention on the woman. But I feel there's a bit more balance leaving her in the middle of the street scene.
Best wishes,
Andrew
