This was an instructive exercise, with more variety in the entries than I anticipated. It seems that you capture the mood and atmosphere of a street in so many ways: just buildings and shadows, or you can include a single figure, or a line-up of people, or a bicycle or a taxi or a cat. They all work. The only way I could judge them was by imagining how pleased I would be with myself if I had taken the photograph. Is that what other people do?
Honourable mentions to:

Robin Lew

That's a great gallery this came from!

Markus Grompe

Three very different pictures, but I liked the foggy one.

Alla Gilbourd

The range of colour makes this photograph special.

Third place to the lovely understated black-and-white by David Decroix:


Second place to Peter Schultz's evocation of a New York street. It's the rule-breaking spontaneity that made me laugh, and had me examining all the details in the corners in "original".


Enrico Martinuzzi's "Genova" was a stand-out winner for me. It ticks all the boxes. A wonderful picture.

Thank you so much for the 3rd place Paul, I'm really happy you liked the photo.
Congrats to the participants and the winner, it was my favourite entry too!
All the best.
Dave
