A big thank you for participating and voting in the last street challenge. And special thanks to Jocasta @jocasta for hosting it.
I know you are all raring to hit the streets and capture spectacular images so let's get right on to it, shall we?
Here is a definition of street photography copied from the original Street Challenge post.
"Catching a fleeting moment WHERE THE PRIMARY SUBJECT IS PEOPLE, doing what people do, being what people are and which moves the viewer in some way. Street photography is often B&W, but not exclusively or necessarily so. Contains a human presence & element even if it is architecturally inclined. Often defined as "Unposed scenes in public places": so, no street portraiture where the subject is posing - although they may catch you & look into the camera! It does not need to be confined to overtly urban areas - could be a beach (or an airport). Avoid heavy hdr processing, spot-colouring etc..."
If you want to give it a go but find yourself wondering, “should I ask permission before shooting strangers in public places?” then the short answer is "no". But you'll find longer and more helpful answers here:

If you are new to this genre, or a bit intimidated, street shots do not have to be close up, they can be silhouettes, or a person from a distance that shows the scale of the location, or an interesting background.
This challenge will run from Sunday, November 20, 2016 and will end at midnight Toronto/New York time on Saturday, December 10, 2016. Entries must be taken within these dates.
