Fist one .. cute moment! A step to the left would have removed the horn from the front of the child's face. Second and third ones .. nothing special going on.

Went for a walk at the Stockyard
The framing on each of these images is just exquisite!
In the first one the physical relationship between the hands up child, the bull horns, and the hands up mother is perfect! It is what glues that picture together, and separates the intangible subject (life) from all the excitement of the peripheral detail and color.
In the second image the framing is again the key to the whole, but in this case the little details are the attention getting devices. Bored faces, bored clothing, bored background, bored bench, bored etc etc etc... and that sweet old pair are holding hands! Fantastic.
The third image has so much going on it's hard to list. From "Good Morning" cups, to an almost dapper old gentleman, and the clothes rack, it's full of stuff. And that guy is holding... a cell phone! Was he texting his girlfriend?
These are just excellent Street Photograph simply because the people aren't the subject, but the life they are engaged in is. And as Ruldolf Arnheim described the way that Gestalt Theory applies to images,
"When nothing superfluous is included and
nothing indispensable left out, one can
understand the interrelation of the whole and
its parts, as well as the hierarchic scale of
importance and power by which some structural
features are dominant, others subordinate."
These images are extremely well composed.
