In one word: Excellent!

This is high quality street photography. Composition, subject, technical execution, they all strengthen each other in real synergy.
I even don't mind that they are in black and white, they are fascinating enough to look at.

Thanks for sharing these last images, taken with your camera before it got damaged.

Cem: I like these very much. They do what good street photography does: they glimpse a mood, a moment, an implied narrative a since of the life before and after the frozen moment. The woman in the second shot looks absolutely predatory in her petite dejeuner. Is she American?

Cem,

Stunning! We're not supposed to say this! That's it! You have now defined your style. Black and white is rendered from color with satisfying distribution of tonalities providing a sense of unity between the pictures. Clarity in the hustle and bustle; freezing of truly empathetic and enduring moments.

Cem,

Wait, there's more. Wendy, who as you know has extensive gallery experience immediately said, "Fabulous!" Tell him I think they're wonderful

If these are snaps, I must throw away my camera!

LOL, don't even consider it. One thrown away (i.e. actually dropped) camera per year is enough for us here in OPF ;-).

Thanks a lot for the kind compliments. Coming from you and especially Wendy I value them extremely.

Cheers,

Hi Cem
I won't repeat what others say, but these are truly good images (an image isn't a pict nor a snap!)…
Though, sorry to be the only one to have a "though" here, I'd like to seem them in colour. Paris is high in colourS (colour being a stone in the American language (they do say color, so poor!;-)

Thanks for sharing!

BTW funny is the comment of Doug, for the women having lunch, my first though was this one is not a Parisienne, she must be American… LoL)
