I have come up with a scale of evaluation of posted images as to where, in my personal opinion, they fit on a scale extending between "Bystander Liberal Street" on the one hand , and "Authentic Traditional Street" on the other hand....also designated the BLS -ATS SCALE.

Those falling into the BLS range are those admitted to the realm of " Street" by the liberal criteria offered in the book "Bystander" which some accept as THE source of the gospel on Street Photography. On the other hand, those images which, IMO, are admitted to the designation of ATS are indisputably consonant with the image and spirit of Authentic Traditional Street as found in the bodies of work by the greats of the history of Street photography. These are readily accessed by Googling the names of such as Louis Hein, Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, Dorothea Lange, Garry Winogrand, and many others.

This particular image, "Waiting", IMO takes its place securely in the "Bystander Liberal Street" (BLS) class of images.
