I'm trying to get a good idea of what makes for an artful image in street photography -- is it the "moment" or "event" captured, or is it the presentation of that moment through the eye of the photographer? It is probably some of both -- but what makes good street photography? And what about monochrome vs. colo(u)r?
At any rate, here is an image where I am wondering two things: is there anything artful about the moment? and, second, have I gone too far in contrast and clarity?
Exposure settings and WB in LR
Detail Extraction and BW conversion in NIK CEP
Many thanks for your consideration.
