Shadows, Reflections and People - Monomad Challenge.
Hi everyone!
I have prepared a street photography set that is quite interesting in my opinion. These are photos I took during my last walk in the center of Buenos Aires. The obelisk always has to be present, although it is a structure that we could consider repetitive, it is still interesting when we see it from another perspective. This time I wanted to take some photos of the top, trying to get compositions in combination with some branches and leaves that were several meters away.
In the first photo I leave the obelisk in the background and the focus is on one of these leaves of the tree, In the second the focus is directly on the obelisk and you can see that kind of window that functions as a viewpoint.
The third photo in this series is a little more angular.
At that time I used the 70-300mm lens and already knew in advance that they would be in black and white. I like how the details are better appreciated.
Here we have a photo that I loved, it has a particularity with the contrasts and shadows that hit these buildings and the dome of the Bencich building is very illuminated.
Those dark areas in those buildings, a sky not so outrageously illuminated, the branches of the trees and the dome, seem like an exquisite combination to me.
In some random building in the area, Roque Sáenz Peña Avenue to be precise, there is the reflection of one building on another. Reflections of any kind have always caught my attention, this is one of them.
And a detour sign in a construction maintenance area near one of the subway stations.
Finally, I include in this set some people crossing the avenue in the middle of so much traffic and chaos in this area of the city.
Each photographer has their preferences when photographing people on the street, some prefer to capture people without movement, others only from their backs... I like the movement of people because it entails an action, a situation and is even more emotional depending on the scene.
Street photography for me is emotions and moments if we talk about people, expressions are very important and I think street photography is about that in itself. It's just my point of view.
A very smoky shot at that moment. Take the opportunity to have something a little different there.
That's all folks. Thanks for stopping by and appreciating.

Street photography gives the photographer the opportunity to share the story of random people with his or her photos , lovely shots
There is no better way to describe it :) thanks for the nice comment.
You made nice use of the branches ofnthe tree.
I like the first and the third shot best.
This time it seems that the branches were not annoying for the composition 😄 thanks for stopping by @friendlymoose friend!
Las fotos hasta el desvío (y el desvío mismo) las adoré.
Me encanta que te hayan gustado 🥰 Gracias @nanixxx ❤️
I really like the way you used different focal points for almost the same view, as way to make us see different perspectives.
Although my favourite is the building reflected in the multiple windows.
