Thank you, JLK... very kind of you to say. I find it very challenging, and have gained a lot of respect for street photographers. There's just so much to think about in such a short time... exposure, backround, and focus, and you might only get about 2 seconds to get it right. My Sigma macro lens takes some pretty respectable images, but it's autofocus can be pretty slow, which has caused me to miss some great shots. I've found that people are pretty gracious for the most part, and as soon as they notice you they'll stop what they're doing, look directly at the camera and strike a pose and flash a smile, which is just not what I'm after. The first pic I posted this week, of Twig the Fairy, is an example. It's a good pic, and I like it, but I think the 4 or 5 I clicked off before she saw me were actually more interesting. I was just playing with the 85mm a bit, and autofocus is lightning fast, so I'm hoping for some better shots in the future.
