  Hi Damian,

  While I appreciate the aptness of the title I’m not sure colour popping the garments is needed.
  That said I am biassed here as I am not a fan of the technique and feel it seldom improves an image.

  Even with the title and the colour pop the first thing my eye was drawn to was that the subjects
  have no feet.

  I also wonder if photographing people from behind like this makes for a good street image unless they
  are doing something really interesting.

  I like street photography but it is not easy to produce interesting images.
  I have been taken with some street action myself only to discover later that in my eagerness
  to capture the moment I have neglected some basic technical element like cutting off a subjects feet

  I may sound very critical but my intention is only to be helpful and at the end of the day it’s only an opinion.

  I’d say well done to you for getting out and snapping. Keep it up.

  I look forward to seeing more of your images.

  John.

  Well I did a few of these ‘colour pops’ in my earlier years in the hobby and am a fan of sorts.
  Upon opening the image I immediately saw that the young lady on the right was taking a picture
  of their reflection in the window, and that, I presume, is what attracted you to take the picture,
  apart from the dress of them. Their feet being cut off…yes John has a point, but it doesn’t spoil
  the impact of the image for me.

  As John said, it’s good to get out and take some pictures.
  I was on hols for the past 2 weeks and spent more time
  on here than I have done in years. Maybe come tomorrow I will be missing again :D
  but I enjoyed the return.
