1. THIS is a "street photo" - :-)

2. I am a black and white guy all the way, but I have to agree with
those arguing that most of the images in this group would benefit from
color. How, I have to ask, did you do the black and white conversions?
Were these straight conversion to grayscale?

Jim,

We will have to agree to differ.  I wanted to avoid the pretty picture
trap. But then I never put colour in my Leica!

Hi John:

I don't agree with you. ;-)

How in the world would color have weakened most of the photos in this
set?

I can't help but think that this one would have been great in color:
