Had my first go at street photography today. I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

The first two were taken alongside Worcester race course and the rest were taken in Worcester City Centre.

I think the angles work better on the 2nd shot of the homeless person. There's a sense of people keeping a distance from them, and the drain looks nearer too which adds the 'living in the gutter' theme.
 
The problem with a lot of street photos is that they can be lacking in that extra dimension and just end up looking like well-taken snaps. If you had #3 looking anxious in his smart clothes in the same frame as #8 homeless woman looking pretty content with her fried chicken, that contrast would make a much better photo.

The problem is the stars rarely align for you, which makes a really great street photo such a gem.
