Nice capture, are you using a wide angle lens?

Hi John and thank you. Shot at 35mm (eqv 56mm) using a 20-35 ef lens @f8

Hi Kev, nice capture and welcome to CinC!

Welcome to CiC Kev...I like this picture that I can look it over and see different expressions and items to look at all over.

While the sky does have some interest, I wonder about cropping tighter at the top (maybe 5 x 4 ratio or would 3 x 2 be too tight) to make a stronger 'people scene'? There would probably still be sufficient sky left.

I love a good B&W. I am normally not in favour of a contrasty look. In this instance
I would like to see it. That is only my opinion.
Cheers Mugge

IMHO, very, very good. The right moment was caught in this.
The B&W, well done.

Welcome Kev and a nice opener. The contrast has been well controlled given the conditions. The crop suggested by Geoff F might be worth exploring.

[NorthernFocus]

As others have said, an interesting shot and a nice intro for us at CIC. Well done.

I like the composition and conversion. Very nice Kev.

Yes of course I'll be more active with posting on your great images, sometimes it's hard to get time to post with other commitments going on at present... there seems to be a good community going on here which I'm happy to be part of. Thanks again for positive/welcoming comments from you all

Nice shot, Kev. The interesting thing for me is that everyone is walking in the same direction - it's very difficult to capture that in a scene.

I'm going to be investigating Cambridge for some street photography in the next couple of weeks...
