Street In the grit of urban life (image heavy and a little extreme ;) )

[Alf]

A short while ago I had a playful morning, dropping the sigma 56mm attached to my x-e4in my bag and nothing else, decided to ignore architecture and to devote to the strong characters of vibrant, deep, real urban life.

Or else.

But first a man has to eat.

Lovely street set. Some great images there. Is the treatment in-camera, or are these raws with PP?

Fantastic images. Some of them are absolute stunners. A lot of these are close to what I had in mind for the Urban Unquiet thread. This kind of thing fascinates me all the time.

Love the processing, it really enhances the photos.

Another fantastic set, Alf! The images are amazing by themselves, but your subtle commentary raises them up a notch further.
