I made no personal attack, Paul. I was discussing street photography with you, I thought. You seem to be unwilling to be objective about what I'm saying and take any critique I'm making as some imagined personal insult. That is not how it is intended or presented at all.
I'm not a wildlife photographer. So when two wildlife photographers sent me responses criticizing the Egret photo I posted recently, I was very appreciative of their thoughts on the subject. Not that I intend to become a wildlife photographer but they have insight into the genre that I lack. Your work, this photo in particular, is not street photography. Characterizing it as such is not objective. I'm looking at all the work I can find that you've posted and see no relationship with street photography in the fold of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, etc. Look at HCB's "Mexican Diaries". Each image has enormous amounts of connection, interaction, between subject and environment, context. A couple with the photographer. Can you objectively state that "Glorious Gourd" is in the same genre?
