      this one I reckon.

      Good stuff. The fade in focus from the central sweet spot to the blur of the edge goes well with their motion.

      I've got to say that I love seeing photos of people made with toycams. So often you see photos of buildings, usually decrepit. I take lots of those myself, but I think that cameras in general, and toycams for sure are best at capturing the human condition. Street photography is hard, no doubt, but for me, those are the photos that are most rewarding. Pick up that Holga and photograph a stranger.

      BTW, this is a "Hail Mary" photo, with the camera held over a fence. The slightly wide view of the Holga is perfect for shooting from the hip. I always tell my students that, when shooting with a Holga, frame the scene, then take two big steps closer.

      I vote for this one! The other shot is cool but if you don't know the context it doesn't have as great an impact. This shot needs no explanation.

      This gets my vote - the angle, the dynamic and the brassiness.

      Yep, this is the one.
