Well, waegwan, I like all three. The people in the first one look like a happy group. I especially like the second photo, particularly the way you included part of the motorbike. It nicely balances their gaze. The third one is fine, too, but I'd make a couple minor changes. The foreground doesn't seem to add much, so perhaps eliminate much of it. Then burn in the white rectangle in the upper left corner as it's distracting. A nice group of photos.

These captures are refreshing. Each one tells a different tale, and not the same one again and again. You also change up your contrast, and although I favor B&W when it comes to street/people, I love the one in color.

Just a very well-done set.

Voss, that does look much better, thanks. I know I'm compositionally challenged. :-)

Thank you for looking and the kind words Charlie'smom. This really is the road in front of my house and the folks in photo #1 really are the city council the man on the right is the mayor. :-)

Nice set of photos. The second one is particularly interesting to me.

In your second shot and in my humble opinion, the motorcycle acts as a distraction. I cropped to taste and opened the shadows areas just a bit.
I finally add some warmth to the file simulating my favorite Agfa fiber base paper.

Thank you for the views of your little corner of the world. Really like the third one and, like you, I have a time with composition. I would have cropped it this way and that and then back to the original, then crop a different way again ...

One question ... in the first picture I see shoeless people ... do you remove your shoes when entering what we here in the US call a gazebo? We Floridians use any excuse to remove ours ...

Thanks for looking. That little corner and one other in town are where the working people come to drink and shoot the breeze. It doesn't take much to get their attention. ;-)

Thanks for the review. I agree with opening up the shadow are a little more. The motorcycle is a curiosity, some folks like it and some don't. I appreciate your opinion. :-)

Thanks for looking. About the shoes, yes, this is Korea and typically folks don't wear shoes in houses or gazebos and most restaurants have areas where folks take their shoes off and sit on the floor.
