A Few B&W Street Shots from my recently acquired M85/2 and Jupiter-9. Hope to get some feedback.

Kids picture was taken with Jupiter-9 @f2 and other two using M85/2

I like the DOF in the first one, but the central man's (the one looking at the camera) face is so dark that it's hard to see his expression.

The child's portrait is wonderfully poignant but the eyes are placed too centrally for my tastes. Also the reflections in the eyes are rather distracting.

The third just doesn't do anything for me.... Too many distractions (her arm ending at the elbor, the stick she is evidently holding, the part of her back that is showing).

All nice - but the shot of the child - the wonderful eyes - is magical. Great job.

They may not be perfect, but as street and city shots go, these are excellent.

That first shot of the railroad workers is a winner. Excellent stuff!

Excellents shoots, bravo
La coupe des rails à l'ancienne, pas de chalumeau...
Super portrait tout en douceur, peut être un autre format pour ce visage
La dame n'est pas très contente apparemment?

Thanks guys, glad you liked pics.

@loule, I didn't get this "can be a different format for this face".
